....... BINGO. if you really cared about handling you wouldn't put 22"s on there....... the car is a straight blinger now, it's not made to handle. Shoulda got the Li

not hating, how can anyone hate on this car. just some observations.

Well, the E65 was just about the most controversial redesign to come out from a premium automaker is a very long time.

Fancy wheels don't change a cars lines and black hides the ungainly aspects.

I think the above car looks good, but overall I find the E65 7series to be one of the worst looking luxury sedans ever.

at the time i purchased the car i was not going to do any mods, but obviously that has changed since then. the handling was the original reason why i bought the car and i guess not having as good handling with bigger wheels was something i was willing to give up more than having a longer car.

Nice wheels...It's a shame that the 7 series is a technological disaster though.

Tire technology has come a long way where 25/30 series tires don't ride terrible, still need to be on the lookout for potholes though.


My buddy has 22's on a 300c w/ 25 series that ride smooth

Should be much more trouble free than the 2002-2003s were........lot of reported issues (buybacks) with those.
