With those wheels, you dont have to worry about quality. Those are a line from TSW. TSW has been around forever.

do they make these in 21's or 20's? 22's make me nervous since i commute to work.

20" or 22" Only.

You dont have to be nervous, unless you have some really rough roads in your area. My recommendation is just go with the 22"s. I personally think that 20"s with a lip look like crap on the 7 series. If your going to go with 20"s, go with a wheel that has no lip. Sort of like this. This is the new Miro Style 935. Available in 20x8.5 and 20x9.5. 18 offset front and rear, and its hubcentric.

I agree with Sam completely. 22s with the lip dont look as hugh as you expect once on the car because of the depth, but 20s with a big lip look dwarfed. When you get 20s with either very little lip or a flush face-no lip, the wheel looks larger than it is. Good example, the 2008 750Li mesh wheel is flush w/no lip and actually looks really good.

21s, might want to avoid those, even though the BMW wheels look amazing. Very limited tires available and they are all expensive whereas 20s and 22s are everywhere at every price.

Sam, Stop posting pics of 7s with 22s. I just put on my 20s BMW 101 Comp Spokes which look great but every time I see your pics it makes me want to take the 22s and put them back on because they look so good.
