Nice example of 21s...
Yup, 21's FTMFW!

22's could also look good if its done right.

size is not important......if you know how to use them

seriously, regardless of the size, those rims are just ugly. not one of those sets match the style of the car. thay all look they should be on chargers or mustangs.

The title of the thread is spot on. Those cars are an embarrassment to the design and engineering that is BMW.

If one of those car was in my neighborhood and my friends where saying ?hey isn?t that the same kind of car you have? I would sell my car?

My car has chrome window trim.
I see all these cars with 22" also have chrome window trims.
I think I am going to order the shadowline trim now...

I agree with the author. Chrome 22's is just a bad taste - my opinion. But if someone likes it - their choice

Depends on what... chrome 22s look sexy on certain 6/7 series, 5 series 22s maybe tad too much...

I wouldn't call it an embarrassment. It's not my cup of tea but after all, it's
their money that they spent on their car.

I just don't feel comfortable passing judgement on others based on their
mods preferences.....

Look on the bight side, the more ugly the other E60's are, the better for us, ya? hahaahahah!
