To each their own but it's not my thing. I would be run out of town by everyone if I showed up with wheels like that. |

The wheels look bad ass! I am glad you rolled the fenders before hand. I found out the hard way.
I have the same problem with the tires hitting the plastic push pins in the front too. Watch for pot holes and keep a the tires full of air. Also watch for dips in parking lots... the only time I rub is hitting a deep dip at low speeds. |

imo i dont like the design, doesnt belong on a sporty sedan. also the sheer size just over powers the car. i would be interested how some black or grey 22s would look with a polished lip bc wheels like that usually look smaller then they actually are.
also the car seems higher then stock, anyway u can lower it a bit? |

They don't appeal to me because they are a step backwards in functionality. Classic style over substance; false front, hypocrisy, and all the other downers. About like breast implants for the Mona Lisa. |

I like the rims...some angless the 22's look awesome and others they do look a lil akward...still like them but could never drive up here on them...I'll have enough problems on 20's with our roads. |

Sorry man..to ghetto looking for me. You're gonna lose about 15 HP at the rear wheels trying to turn all that mass and your brakes will have a hellva task trying to get you stopper. It's all about rotating mass. You may not understand that but you will in time. You gott'em so enjoy them.  |

22" is definitely overkill imho, but since you have them gotta do the brakes as others have mentioned, seriously. Ur risking brake failure down the line if u stick with those OEM brakes... |

Ballin'..Hey Kev, props to you! My 20s keep looking smaller and smaller out here in Cali with all these Magnums and 300Cs on 22s. I was at the dealership the other day reploacing my center brake light and a woman in a CTS on 21s dropped her car off...Made me start to think about my own 20" wheels....Nice job!! |

Very few out there with them and its nice to be a little different sometimes. In real life it really doesn't look as overpowering as it does in the pictures, I have a few other plans for the car once done I think everything will come together nicely.  | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
