Those wheels are Alba's which are ugly in any size. Man that makes me think because I just put my 20's on and it sits about the same height. Got to get coilovers. Anyway I think some high quality wheels with a lip wouldn't be that bad actually. Those wheels probaly make the 7-series look ugly. Put on some different wheels and some springs and we probaly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I really couldn't. I thought they where just ugly wheels.

Is the car lowered at all or is it at stock height? Would that guy have had to do any modification/fabrication to be able to fit 22's on it? What about rubbing issues with that size wheel or any problems/limitations with turning?

He had to have had the fenders rolled & can't turn all the way over. maybe he has 22/8.0
If he had a nice drop & different rims. It doesn't look as bad as I thought.

Thumbs down No offense, but no thanks.

I don't want to sound rude or offensive here ( I know you put time and money into this), but I have to agree.....they are simply too big for this size car. One or two inches larger than stock, maybe, but 22 inches is pushing it. You're going to rub them on the inner fenders on the slightest bump.

I can fit 10 large marshmellows in my mouth while at the same time rubbing four ballons against my head and getting them to stick. I suppose I can look just the same behind the wheel of that GS.

Yeah I got the blue one, matches my real car. I colored the tail lights in so they look like the Junction Produce ones rather than crummy altezzas. I'm such an addict I even modded my model.....
