Those rims are clean. Do you know how much they weigh by chance? I know my 20s with tires weigh 60lbs+ each. My avg mpg is only 16 right now city/hwy. I can only imagine it getting worse with 22s

They look ok, I think if the spokes were a bit thicker it'd look better.

Nice wheel, though a bit on the feminine side IMO. Agree that thicker spokes go better with SUVs.

They wouldn't look too bad. The point mentioned earlier with regard to weight is a valid one...not just if you race an RX300 like I do, but also your MPG.

My coworker just got a same style wheel 19" staggered for his BMW 03' 325i. Look very aggressive. The hypersilver look better than regular alloy. Go for it.

SGV have you confirmed if a 22x9.5 will fit fine? What kind of offset would we need? I'm thinking around +18 offset since +35 would probably have the rim hitting the strut. I'm about to pick some up this week if I can find out the right offset
