That doesn't really look that much worse than 20"s. Then again, I think 20"s look atrocious enough on these cars.
What I will say though, is that your front tires are way to skinny for the wheels you've got them mounted on, and the rears are only barely acceptable. If the widest point of your wheel/tire combination is the rim edge, and not the sidewall bulge, you don't have enough rubber on it. Every time I see that on a car the only thing I can think is "This idiot spent so much on putting ridiculously oversized wheels on his car, that he didn't have enough money left over for the right rubber."
I don't mean this to be personally insulting to you. But, that is my reaction and opinion. The design of the wheel, I actually kind of like though. I'd like to see it in a more reasonable size though.

wait... you have 295 width 22" tires up front? Do you have any rubbing problems? I always thought that a 285 on 19" was about as wide as we could get on the front with no rubbing. Interesting... I must say I like the design of the wheels, just not the size (thought I should clear that up).
but these rims are just for the car shows

I've noticed bigger rims look nice on the 05+ stangs. I have 20" rims, I bought it off the lot like that. Their nice looking, But I would prefer 18" at most. The tires are too damn expensive when you get over that.

The only car I've seen with 22s without getting Getto is "The magician"'
He has them only at the back and they're chrome. Front are 20s.
