I took the 22's off after 2 years to have them refinished and i must say i'm LOVING the ride quality and performance with the stock 19's on. The only drawback is that they're just too bland looking. Soooo im thinking about 21's. the question i have (Tbal answer please) is there a noticable diffrence between the ride quality of 22's vs 21's? The 20's are just a tad small for me on the 6.

Thanks guys

Hey man, lol thats why I never put my 22s back on. The 21s look great, and definantly ride/feel better than 22s. Even though the 22s are 3pc forged, they are damn heavy compared to the oem 21s...

If I was to do the wheels all over again, I would go with 21s for sure...

tbal...are your 22's really heavier than the oem 21's or they just feel that way? I would think your 3piece wheel s/b a tad lighter, if the not, the same weight as the oem. :o

Thanks for the advice T

I think im gonna go 21's.

I just wish the size was more popular (more choices)

The 21" tires cost way more than 22's!!!

What tires/size are you running?

i think he's running 255/30/21 and 295/25/21 (aftermarket sizes). or a bit less stretched and more thickness since they're OEM's.
the 21's should be a bit lighter than the 22's but since those are oem 21's im sure it's the ride, making it smoother/lighter than the 22's.

255/30/21 and 295/25/21 tires bro

Doc Horror 02-21-2010 10:38 AM

Yep, that's the size I am driving.

What choice do you need more than the available 21" Hartge Classic II!!!!

hi t,
if you were refering to mine then thanks. problem is .. i cant really lower it as we have lots of speed bumps here in the u.k .... plus the inside edges of the wheels are pretty damn close to the wheels anyway. it could be the camera angle but it does sit closer to the tyres than it looks on these pics

cheers

Alright, you're a newbie, so I'll say this gently:

:hyper: LOWER THE THING!!! :hyper:

:lol: j/k
but seriously, those 22s without a drop - I'm not feeling it either. Its not the camera angle either :wink: we know :D

doc,
i wasn't a big fan of the Hartge classics. but i think on your colour car they do look very nice. have you dropped that at all?? can you put another couple of pics up somewhere. i could be tempted for a change of wheel i think.

cheers

As you can see in my sig, I used the Eibach Pro Kit for the drop.

Here are some more pics, also on different colour cars:
