Time for a comparison which one cars of these do you prefer?

nr1

nr2

 

[BMWDave]

I prefer the top one

 

[Yperion]

The top one for me also.

 

[warot]

number 1

THe rims on the second one is so blinged out (chrome and design)... I can find better looking rims than that.

 

[dOmInIX]

2nd in this case...WCC aren't bad, no??


Hey Luw, I like these comparisons...keep them comin'.

 

[Centurion]

Admin can you please ban dOmInIX j/K Man did you really have to bring that in. IMO there isn't anything worse than a over styled 7er but the rims are good . As a matter of fact I'm a sucker from black on black cars.

 

[dOmInIX]

I posted this just because of rims..I don't like the looks really.

And, can you guys call me just DOMINIC??

Dominic great pics... i really like the ones with the rims.

It just that some of the original pics, didnt really work for me...

 

[dOmInIX]

very much people that buy BMW 7 Series (people 45-65 yrs) ofcourse, keep original rims...I don't like being like everybody else, at least not when it is about cars, so I prefer non stock ones.

Same here. The best way of making a car look different without ruining it with ugly spoilers and side skirts, is by exchanging the stock rims for some good looking non stock rims. But there are cases when stock rims is the best way to go for example with AMG or M cars.

Alex, is this your house and car?

I agree... but there's a limit for everything... 24" blacked out rims on a 7 series look stupid. Get something that is as big as OEM and let it be original, but not as blatant as those bling rims

Remember: Weight on wheels is important. The less the better. Because the wheels are spinning the weight is multiplied because of centrifical force. I don't know the exact equation but weight on wheels=worse performance, less gas mileage, and ugliness. Because the wheels spin weight is so imminent. Also your suspension will suffer. If you go over bumps fast the suspension will have more of a difficult time pushing the wheels back to the ground..

In some of the example pics, it looks wrong because a Range shouldn't be lowered like that. The whole car looks stupid because of that.

Jezezz!! I couldn`t have said it better!! the Range Rover looks horrible with those wheels. I almost became sick looking at it!!
