Thumbs up Professional shoot: all-new 2012 BMW 650i convertible with 22" Modulare M18 brushed

From our friends at SR Auto Group in Vancouver, BC: the all-new 2012 BMW 650i convertible, shown with a set of 22” Modulare M18 in brushed with a chrome lip. The wheels are 22x9 front with a 3” lip and 22x10.5 rear with a 4” lip. The car is lowered on Hartge lowering springs.

Enjoy the pics!

IMHO, this combination looks EXCEPTIONAL. Really brings something substantial to the new 6-series party. YES. Completely changes my perception of the new 650i convertible.

More, please. What is the tire brand & sizes on this particular car/wheel combo?

Thanks for the compliments! I thought it came out great as well.

I believe the tires were 245/30/22 and 285/25/22. This was our wholesale customer so we didn't supply the tires, but those are the sizes I recommended.

Question: do you think that 20's would look less "right" in this application? I'm a bit iffy of the 22's ultra-low profile regarding ride quality.

I think if that were the case, I'd go to a 21"....I think BMW has a factory option for 21" for the new cars.

I'd do a 21x9 245/35/21 and a 21x10.5 285/30/21
