Hello

Just sold my black E61 535d last week and im searching for a new one. This time its going to be the F11, 2011 535d with m sport package. All i want to do with it is some big wheels, preferably 22", a carbon lip in front and a carbon rear diffusor. So i wonder if anybody have some good tip to some nice wheels?

They looked good, especially with the lowering. I have been looking at these. What do you guys think?



22" with 245/30 and 295/25

^ Both wheeltypes looks excellent.

Is 22" too big size?

Not in my opinion at least. The wheelhouses on the f11 is HUGE and can easily fit 22". Of course, some of the comfort will go away, but ive seen a f11 on 20" and that did not look good. Too small.

I agree ? the wheelhouses are huge and with 21" or 22" it will look much more better, but comfort is gone at least our roads here in Finland
