here's some help on posting the pictures








doesn't look bad but you should look into some nice springs instead of the cut springs

Doesn't look that bad for being 22's. Usually we see 22's in the thread title and it's just a heavy bling show... The wheels on the drivers side don't look all that bad...

They don't seem all that big for some reason. I kind of like it.

The 22's dont look that bad since its not the "ghetto" chrome looking ones. Its a nice wheel choice.

Aren't you worried about putting extra stress on your tranny?

When you post up with links to your pics, you must accept all kinds of criticism...good and the bad.

I commend you for doing 22s on your 2GS....if you like it...thats all that matters. IMO...this aint for me.

As for the rest, please stick to the subject matter.

actually the 2-piece 22's are not that heavy as people seem to think ! and its not that much more of stress on the tranny from the larger diamater tire! the difference from the 20 to the 22's is exactly 1" my 20's was 26.6" tall and my 22's are 27.6" tall ! and my 22" is lighter in weight than my 1-piece 20's !

As said above, your cars wears 22s well--congrats on pulling it off. I'm with L3XOTIC--usually they're a bling/showoff piece at that size and wear the car vs. the car wearing them.
