a stock matte black car looks weird to me... definitely will need some wheels, black grill and other sporty bits to complete the look. maybe tint those taillights too.

SLOW DOWN GUYS!!!!! I just started. I do have a set of 22" wheels that I am trying to get fitted with the corect tires. Maybe some of you can help me with the wheel and tire fitment? This pic is showing one rear installed buyt I have some tire clearance issues. The front wont even go on with a thirty series tire so I was hoping to go down a size to a 235/25/22. any thoughts? The grille is getting painted just give me a minute or two guys...

Two grand and I still have enough vinyl for one more car or for repairs. I basically bought the roll, it cost about twelve hundred. The rest was two guys almost two full days of work. I could sell the rest of the roll for 600 bucks and be in it for 1400 but I want the spare. I'm happy with the price.

Car looks great!!!
Time to black out all the grill, side markers, yellow reflectors, and possibly those rear lights to go for that real aggressive full murdered out look.

You don't see many people on forum with 22's on the E60 but my guess is that you would have to get a 235/25/22 tire for the fronts at a MINIMUM to make them fit. That most likely a definite fender roll.
It's kind of hard to recommend anything without knowing your wheel width, offsets and what suspension you are planning on running.

What's the wheel width? You going for a stretched tire look?

The rears are 22x10.5 with a +24 offset and the fronts are 22x9 with a +20. does that help? I really need wheels!!!
