I love how no matter how foolishly large the wheel, and how rubber-band the tires, how screwed up the suspension geometry, how disadvantageous the moment of inertia, the magic of the internet always manages to provide great ride, handling steering feel, acceleration, braking, and everything else, plus get the owner laid 5 times on the way home from school. Gotta love that magic internet! Unfortunately for those poor souls among us who live in the boring reality of the real world, we know this is utter bull$h*t.

1" drop looks nice, but wheels looks little too sporty IMO.

I've never been much into anything bigger than 20's because once you get too big, they look "toyish" and not very "luxury." Your 22's I must say, are not bad for some reason... I kind of like them. Like the other's said... for your ride, drop that sucka to the ground and ride hard !!!!

no one is 'hatin'. the wheels are too big. its like having your wife get bigger breasts because you like the look. never mind all the other things associated with the decision. it seems like entirely too many of the wrong types of people are getting this car and putting their own lack of class all over it thereby dragging down the entire lot. people can do whatever they want no matter how stupid it is but when you get called on it own up. and I dont care what this post reads like: I am tired of low rent scrubs acting like anyone who isnt as stupid as they are is 'hatin'. get a clue.
