So I blame Sam for this one. Every time I sign on to the forum, Sam has posted some 7s with great looking 22s. I had recently taken off my 22s and put on 20s. Was just too worried the wife would scrub the 22s since they were pushed so far to the edge of the wheelwell and very little tire.

Ever since installing the 20s, seems like everywhere I drive I come across a 7 with 22s and I was starting to get Napolean's disease. Felt like I was stumpy.

Couldnt take it any longer so back on are the 22s. Will post new pics cause I had dropped the car and the 22s look even better with the drop now.

I will post the 20s for sale soon. Spent all kinds of time and money getting these 20s lips chromed and brand new Yokohama S-drive tires.

I had absolutely no part of this. Show me the pics, and I may admit it.

Here are the pics with 22s back on and lowered via Eibach. After that whirlwind of wheel and tire changes, I am really happy having these back on.

you should go with what you like not what other wants! if you want 22" then go with 22", if you want 20" go with 20" even if you want to put 24" or 26" is up to you...if you think 26" would feet? go for it.... BY THE WAY NICE RIMS!

He is going with what he likes. I think he has a set of OEM 19"s, Some 20"s and the 22"s. He changes rims like people change shoes.
