Lightbulb Not Saying That I'm Warming Up to The G70, But...

As with ALL vehicles IMO, A nice set of Shoes makes a world of difference and is a very good thing! Especially in the case with this car. Although I'm actively searching for my next vehicle (LCI G12 being on my short list). If I were to even consider a G70, the wheels would be changed immediately to something similar to this...

For me, the wheels seem OK I guess, they just don't look right with the white car. There needs to me more contrast between the car and wheel colors.

I believe this vis exactly why I like them.

Black wheels are so beyond played out. Every car manufacturer does it.

I agree on the black wheels. Maybe a brushed or flat silver gray with black accents?

The 7 is just ugly……no rims or color changes are going to fix that. That’s the first BMW I’ve ever said that about….

Looks great, but I like my tires thick to handle potholes.

For me the 7er's issue wasn't the wheels, so it honestly doesn't change my thoughts. Also the drop covering up the wheel gap and tire looks a bit weird considering how gigantic the vehicle is, reminds me of an older Merc with failed air suspension.
