Anyone have pics of the 22" 785M wheels on their X7? I know a few folks with Shadowline Trim were looking at these so curious to know if anyone has them installed yet.

First I've seen of those, looks very nice and uniquely different.

The 785M are in my opinion the better looking option of the 22" variety but they're so damn expensive and look like a pain to clean like my 666M are.

Ja, BMW makes a killing on the price of their post purchase wheel options.

Reviewing the 785M gallery, the gap between the wheel spokes large enough to easy cleaning. A wheel off ceramic coat of the wheel and M Sport calipers should ease cleaning and minimize brake dust cling.

The more I look at them the more I wish 758M were available for the X5!

Good luck with your decision.

These are way too busy. Not a fan.

I was wondering about it but I saw a similar wheel and liked it so I decided to buy them for my summer setup. I won't have pics until next spring since I'll run the all-seasons straight into winter and plus my vehicle probably won't show up until August so getting too late in the year to swap to summer tires at that point in my opinion.

Perhaps, yes. My wife feels the same.

I'm still holding out hope one of these tire manufacturer's decides to make an official BMW-approved 22" winter tire this year.

Oh yes they do and I'm such a sucker for OEM anything. Luckily we have some pretty great vendors here that offer such great discounts.

I would definitely get any set of wheels ceramic coated, so much easier to clean. Price is worth the time saved.

Ah look what I found! 785M on Tanzanite Blue II.

That's carbon black not tanzanite blue II, but it is the 785M.

Damn you're right it is! Oh wow... it's looks really nice under showroom lighting. I totally thought it was Tanzanite. Crap, now I'm debating Carbon Black vs. Tanzanite...

If you want more black than blue go carbon black. If you want more blue than black go tanzanite. It's that simple really. I have black BMWs already so I didn't want something more black thus I went with TB II.

That's comforting. I am too OCD to own a black car. I prefer blues so TBII it is. Have had grey, blue, red, and 3x white BMW - never had black.

Love the 785M, glad I found this thread because I couldn't find good pics on darker cars. That video sold it for me!
