Default New Pics On 22s

Finally got around to taking some new pics of the car since i got it back. BC coils are installed and 22s added a couple weeks ago. I know many people think they are too big but i think they fit the car pretty good. Cant go as low as some of you as that are on 20s though. Probably over winter I'll swap out the 22s for 20s. Anyway heres the pics. Any comments welcomed.

22's are to big for me to but the car looks pretty nice over all.

If 20's are to small for you try 21's that might be a happy medium.

yea i probably could go a tad bit lower but im just barely clearing the front and the rears i dont wanna chance if people get in the rear. since i had the rears rolled, im pretty good on clearance.

true and i do believe it would be a good medium but the price for tires is ridicous lol. im sure i can find a decent set of 20s that would look perfect slammed.

i dont know???!??! something about the ride doesnt do too much for me.

its not necessarily the fact that they are 22's (although it does seem like they make the car look a little 4x4-ish) i think it makes the car look awkward that they arent staggered, and also that the wheels look like they have brushed lips/barrels instead of chrome.

the car doesnt seem to flow the way that there is a black roof, blacked out window trim, and then with white colormatched wheels, meanwhile still having chrome emblems and chrome front end. too many styles. but what do i know.....im gonna get my roof done here shortly as well.

maybe get the emblems and front end pieces painted and it'll probly look better?!????!

i have to say i do agree with you. yes the lips are brushed and since the car is awd i did not want to chance the staggered wheels.

95% of the pics ive seen with people on 20s just make the wheels looks very small to me.
