About This BMW 7 Series G11/G12 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This White BMW 7 Series G11/G12 sits on a set of 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch TWS Forged EXlete 107M wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose TWS Forged for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of BMW 7 Series builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the White exterior with the TWS Forged EXlete 107M creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: TWS Forged EXlete 107M on the BMW 7 Series G11/G12
When I first saw this G12 sitting on 22-inch TWS Forged EXlete 107Ms, I knew the owner nailed the aggressive look. We are running 22x9 up front and 22x10.5 in the rear. These widths perfectly match the G11/G12 chassis lines without looking like a cartoon.
The offsets are pure magic here. We tuck the wheels just enough to keep the track width wide, giving the car a planted, hunkered-down stance. The hub bore fits the BMW 66.6mm spec perfectly, so you avoid those annoying vibrations from hub rings.
I checked the clearance on those massive front calipers, and the TWS spoke design offers plenty of room. You get that deep, industrial look without needing spacers to clear the brakes. It is a clean, bolt-on performance setup.
The rear barrel depth on the 10.5-inch wheel gives the car an incredible profile. You see the concave transition from the center hub to the outer lip. It transforms the executive sedan vibe into something much more predatory.
We are running a lowered suspension, which tightens that fender gap significantly. With this specific offset, you have to watch the inner liner at full lock. I noticed zero rubbing during hard cornering, but you definitely need a proper alignment.
The G11/G12 platform demands high-quality forged metal to handle the sheer mass of the chassis. TWS keeps the unsprung weight low, which helps the adaptive dampers perform better. You feel the difference in steering feedback immediately after the swap.
I would advise everyone to measure their fender clearance before locking in these specs. Every car sits slightly differently depending on the tire sidewall choice. Stick to the TWS design if you want a reliable, daily-driven fitment that looks custom-built.
What We Recommend for BMW 7 Series G11/G12 Owners
If you own a G11 or G12, stop looking at heavy cast wheels right now. You need forged construction to survive the potholes and the heavy curb weight of this German tank. TWS Forged gives you the structural integrity that OEM wheels lack.
We always suggest a staggered setup for the 7 Series. The wide rear tires provide the necessary traction for the torque output of the bigger engines. Keeping a 9-inch wide front prevents the steering from feeling heavy or tramlining too much.
Do not go wider than 10.5 in the rear unless you plan on heavy bodywork. You want a flush look, not a "poke" that throws rocks at your rear quarter panel. Stick to the aggressive offset sweet spot we used here to keep your paint clean.
Watch your tire brand and sizing carefully. We recommend a high-performance summer tire with a slightly rounded shoulder to avoid contact with the fender liner. If you choose a square-shouldered tire, you might encounter minor rubbing during heavy compression.
My final piece of advice is to skip the cheap spacer kits. When you buy wheels this premium, you should have them machined to the exact offset you need. Do it right the first time and save yourself the headache of wheel balance issues.
Style and Build Analysis
The Gloss Black Anodized finish against the bright White paint is a timeless, high-contrast move. It makes the 7 Series look like it belongs in a high-end garage in Monaco. The anodized coating has a depth that cheap powder coat simply cannot replicate.
I love how the black spokes disappear into the shadows of the wheel well. It forces your eyes to focus on the silhouette of the 7 Series body. The wheels do not scream for attention, but they demand respect once you look closer.
The EXlete 107M design is complex but functional. It breaks up the massive side profile of the long-wheelbase G12 perfectly. Compared to some of the flat-faced designs we see on the road, these have real architectural personality.
There is a surgical precision to this build that I rarely see in the wild. The car feels lighter, faster, and more intentional than a stock 7 Series. It retains the luxury pedigree while adding a shot of adrenaline to the aesthetic.
I have featured hundreds of BMW builds, but this one hits the balance of class and aggression perfectly. Most people overdo the 7 Series with tacky accessories. This build proves that a perfect set of forged wheels is all you need to transform the entire car.
Why We Love This Build
This White 7 Series looks like a predator waiting to pounce. The Gloss Black Anodized finish catches the light in a way that makes the wheels look like dark, polished obsidian. When the sun hits the white body and the wheels disappear into the wheel arches, the car looks slammed and incredibly serious. It is the perfect blend of executive luxury and street-fighting intent that makes us stare for minutes at a time. We love this build because it does not compromise on the BMW soul, but it upgrades the attitude to a level that turns every head on the highway. Go get yourself a set and watch the road change.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to BMW 7 Series owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch wheels fit my BMW 7 Series? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of BMW 7 Series owners run 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
