Throw some 'spinners' on those 22's and you'll be all set. Okay, all together now: "G - H - E - T - T - O"

yeah a 22" will fit the rear.. good luck trying to get a front to fit without looking retarded.

IMO, lower your car on the 20s you have now. it would look 10x better. i dont understand why people throw on wheels and dont lower it.

^^^^^
Im not lazy, i have just been on this forum a while and have never even heard of it talked of. 3 jobs and a full time nursing student. def. not lazy! haha i wish i could be!

Im definitly going to attempt the 22", they will just be my Stunner rims, and keep the 20"s to travel far on. the 22"s in the fronts going to be really difficult, the offset is going to have to be really high. like +50. the tires will be rubberbands too. eeks this is going to be fun.

everyone have their own personal taste they like to put on the cars, like big rims, all carbon fiber and a whole lot of other things....i think if he wants big rims then he will have to suffer confort for them :P

that is just aweful, what are people thinking. That should really be saved for escalades and navigators. Those are worthy vehicles of such crap.

Yea, i don't like certain things about it, but it is the coolest looking little car around, as long as people are looking at me driving it and their not they don't notice the little quirks like its lack of performance and the creaks and squeaks of the interior! And on 22"s its that much noticable. I get more thumbs up from old people 55 and up more than young people. because they just hatin! But, yes in a previous thread i said i did not like my IS you you are correct.
