Looks nice but way too big for a car that's already pretty heavy....not to mention increased drag that'll hurt performance. (But with pimped-out wheels like that, I guess you assume the owner doesn't care about such things)
Watch out for potholes!

The tires for 22" rims should be in theory F 245/20 and R 275/15 
but in practice 265/15 and 295/10 to meet the F10 OEM specs

The wheels aren't that bad but it definitely needs a drop. I guess 21's will be the de facto upgrade size since you'll be riding on rubber bands with 22's...

Those wheels look like tanks. Way to heavy! I agree with the other posts on here. I think they would severely hurt the performance of the car!
