Default 22's on s197

First off I thought it would look crazy but this stang is HOT!! What do you guys think.Not everybody likes big wheels but this is a nice car.Plus it has the power to pull with the wheels(TURBO).

this car has been posted many times. its not overly bad for 22s but still could look much better with a different design and 20s at most

no thanks
22's are too big
see how thin the sidewalls are?
one pothole and bye bye rims
i like the ride quality better in my 18's vs when i had 20's
with the 20's i had to drive around like i was on eggshells
now potholes dont bother me quite as much
the 22's might be good at an import car show, but very impractical for driving on the street.

I have 20's and would not go any bigger! 22's belong on a pickup truck with huge meats not on a car with rubberbands!

I guess if I didn't care about performance at all it might look good... Nah, still looks gaudy. I traded my 18" fanblades for OEM 17" wheels just to save a few pounds and gain a few mod bucks.
