The design of the new BMW 7 Series is anything but subtle. The latest iteration of the luxury sedan is arguably the most polarizing 7er in history – together with the E65 generation – but that doesn’t mean Mansory finds it extravagant enough. Instead of releasing a full-body kit for the luxury sedan, however, the German aftermarket firm goes only for a set of new alloy wheels.
This is a rather conservative approach from Mansory as we mostly know the company from its overly aggressive aerodynamic upgrades. For the new 7 Series though, Mansory decided all the vehicle needed was 22-inch forged wheels with an almost completely enclosed design. To a certain extent, the rims remind us of Maybach, though the design is slightly sportier thanks to those little 15 spokes at the wheel’s outer ring.
The fully forged wheels are 9 inches wide at the front and 10.5 inches at the rear. This makes them suitable for massive 265/30 front and 295/25 rear tires. Mansory recommends using Falken Azenis FK510 rubber, as well as 10-millimeter spacers to give the new 7 Series an even wider stance. As a side note, the luxury sedan isn’t the only vehicle that can be upgraded with the FD.15 wheelset – the same upgrade can also be given to the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-AMG G63, Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, and others.
For the 7 Series, Mansory proposes the wheels with a silver finish and black accents. We’ve seen plenty of other color options for this wheelset – including an all-black finish – and it is probably safe to assume the 7 Series will also be available with those other colors. For now, there’s no word on whether the new wheels will also fit the i7 as there’s only a single rendering with the new wheels available so far.
If you want a more complete visual upgrade for the new 7 Series, you should probably take a look at other tuning companies. For the time being, Mansory doesn’t have a full exterior kit but just recently, Renegade Design showed its more aggressive take on Munich’s flagship sedan.
