Its the color combo that does the trick. Had they been chrome or some other stand out color it would not look as good as they do. Nicely done Mike!

They certainly don't LOOK bad. I love the style of wheel but I would imagine 22's are a terrible choice for anything other than taking sweet looking pictures.

I have to say I'm a little upset the tire selection is at least as good as it is for my 19's...

I'm not really digging it either, but... a side note. Vossen appears to be the only wheel manufacturer that visits the forums so just out of curiosity why don't you guys try and do a lightweight, performance yet stylish oriented wheel? Just my .02.

Never really heard of True forged and a look at their complicated/difficult to navigate site leaves me a little disappointed. With that said... no specs on their wheels so not sure their weight/sizes to consider them being Performance oriented. As far as them being stylish, they aren't terrible but nothing really stands out to me either. Some pretty common patterns/designs but they do lack the gawdy rivet/whatever look common with those designs, so they do have that going for them.

I really don't know why companies don't advertise wheel weight on their product information, it's frustrating and trying to get that information from them is seemingly impossible.

22's are still too big. If they were 20's, and had more sidewall, it'd look a lot better.

Just my random $.02. The design of the rim, and color combination with the car are great though.

I will admit, they are an elusive bunch. But if you do a google search you will find out they are custom built wheels by order. And are very light and performance oriented.
