... 22's ruin cars... All cars...
Actually, if you put 22's on a smart car, it'd be hilarious.
But still...
For the love of God please don't put them on your car. I will lose all respect.
Anyone remember when Vossen posted about having 22'' CV3's? They too so much hell that they had to take it down like 3 hours after posting.

Keep in mind, with the 22's you will be adding more weight to the car, thus loosing HP/Torque. Also, the drive will not be as smooth and you will feel every little crack, rock, stick and debri on the road!

We cant tell you if he will take less or not. If the wheels go for 600 a piece new, then if I were considering these, I would ask how firm he is on the price at the very start, but be ready to pay the full 350.
Keep in mind that there is likely a big difference in cost for you tires too.
As for selling your old ones, wheels are a hard sell. You will always think they are worth more than they are when they are not. For instance, that's why you try to sell 2400 worth of wheels for $350 bucks.

I would also think that if you go this route, getting a tuner and having someone tune your car for 22's would be a good idea. I realize the tire itself will come into play but adding 4 inches to your rim size is going to throw off your mph and your odometer if not corrected.
