This could have been a simple 22" wheel bashing thread (although I wouldn't bash the 22"s), but now its a > 19" wheel bashing thread! Arg!

18's look good, but they just don't do enough for me.

I think the 22" wheels look out of place with the stock body (even my 20's for that matter), but a wide body kit would look great with those wheels.

I'm just surprised that there are 22's that aren't chrome!

/Plans to get Boy Racer. Try and tell me that that doesn't look good! http://www.carrollshelbywheels.com/cs40.htm

yeah i was planning on putting on the wide body kit that extreme offers, but now i don't like it that much as i used to. and these wheels stick out a little, so i probably do need a wide body for it to work.

drag brakes are ordered, but i don't think those are big either...

don't get bodykits by EXTREME DIMENSION... they sell cheapo fiberglass kits

look for kits made from ABS Plastic or Urethane

That's pimpastic, yo!


19 is the biggest I would go on my car. On certain cars, the 20's look fine for show purposes. Anything bigger than that and it might as well have some lambo doors, hydraulics, and a lift kit.

...you just put on 22" rims... weight and going fast is obviously the last thing on your mind.

exactly what i was thinking. if you were thinking about speed you would have gone with 18's not 22's.
