For me, this is why:

And that's only a 17 running 245/40's

the larger the rim, the easier it is to f*ck it up

My sig has BBS RX 18x8.5s.

I am buying FIKSE FM-10 in Race Satin for "Baby's" track shoes.

man those are some ugly ducks. i say go with a 3 piece wheel, the CH's give a "right off the track" look i dont really associate with the 7's. I gotta agree with the HRE's, those would look phat.

I own a 740iL and I know u can't slam it like that. Y ?? cos u can't drop the rear its self levelling u can only drop it .8 using 750iL springs. Me and group of 7 series friends are thinking to do a group buy of 20"s and bodykits for our car. If that wasnt shopped I wanna know how u do that.

you need some 22's man!!!!

I say go with the Sport rims found on the 7's. A set of decently sporty tires and you'd be set, nothing all bling bling with a gaurenteed fit.

Nico, ive seen 7s like that here that have been that low.. it can
be done ...

hey DJ the '740i' yeah its ok but the 'il' they dont make springs for them except RD and ACS which sell whole kits new shocks and everything but for a ridiculous amount and they dont drop much. Or maybe u can do what my dodgy indo friends do and chop the spring..heehe dangerous especially on the autobahn.

Here are some pics of 740i short wheel base and no self levelling.

There is another picture of a different angle of this 740 in the other pages (740iL Lowered is what is called!)

trust me ive seen slammed ILs here... and you
cant do dodgy shite to your car here cos everything has to be
TUV approved or you dont get registration or insurance or anything
sooooooo.... theres kits from other companys that dont cost anywhere
near the ACS prices... ACS and RD are sooo rediculously over priced
ill try to find out some info...

Would 19's HRE look good in a 740iL?

I would listen to CMT - getting anything bigger on such a heavy car just means you'll be buying rims every few months.
As for "Slamming" a 7 - I think it's dumb - it's ok on other cars, but the 7 is stately. Lower it by an 1" or 1.5" at most, but do it mostly to stiffen up the ride a little.
