I'm actually surprised that it doesn't look bad. Probably would look way out of place on an E60 sedan, though.

I think it looks pretty good, I would have expected a more 4x4 look w/ such big wheels. But I'm not big chrome guy, a little too "LOOK AT ME" for my taste, I personally would love to see how those would look black w/ polished lip. It would make the wheels look a little smaller than they actually are in black, and black wheels on black always look real good.

That guy must drive on perfect roads...wouldn't work in San Diego. Also, it would've looked much nicer with a different offset in the front...lip is too big in the front.

Haha yeah, San Diego has some rough spots. I swear, I feel like my wheel is going to fall off sometimes when I can't avoid those potholes.

Agree w/ you on the front offset...too big, and they need a tint!

Yeah I've been hanging out on some audio forums lately because I'm going to be in my garage for the next two months straight doing a system. Lots to learn.

Holy crap. Nice 'glassing. I'm trying to avoid requiring any fiberglassing in my current install, because it's messy and I don't think it goes with the look I'm trying to achieve, which is absolute stealth (plus a usable trunk). It works in that install because you're going for the in-your-face look. I'm hoping I can make up for not having the components in kicks by using time-alignment in my H701. We'll see.
