anything over 19s is gay. Unless they are HSV 20s. put it on calais rims with some e/t streets it would look much better

scrub city. wont be able to take passengers and the choice you will get on narrower 22's to fit with minimal scrub will be very limited.. most of them are wider for 4x4's and stuff... stick with 19's or hsv 20's anything over that is gay

It's not just the rim's and tyre's that you'll have to spend coin on...

I've got 20's now and was thinking about going the route of fitting 22's...... The biggest problem i can see is keeping the car at a decent ride height so that it doesnt look like a tractor, so a lot of dollars would need to be spent on getting the suspension sorted - i reckon that would probably be the biggest expense

The next logical step would be the shiniest 22s you can find. But why stop there, you may as well go straight to 24s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I agree with the big rims look gay statment. 19's maybe 20's in the right situation, anything bigger just looks rediculous. Although some people like the big rim alfoil fad, each to their own I guess..

Anything 20in or over needs to be a spoked design to have a chance of working imo... look at 22INCH and BLOJOB/ACKER, both of them still looked classy, classier than say a VL with cheap looking flat chrome 18s or 19s... I guess what i'm saying is that it's not all about size- the finish/style also has alot to do with whether wheels will work or not. Having said that, the small looking VB-VL wheel arches don't particuarly lend themselves well to large diameter wheels though, generally speaking (in my own opinion).

I'd rather a nice set of 18" forged jap brands. Spend the balance on good tyres. You cant see the wheels when your driving.

I like what jack said, it depends on the style of the wheels and finish. Personally, i HATE chrome. If u want wheels with a big dish u can always get FR 19's Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Eg Fr's, vx gts, vy gts ect theres a big range ! my opinion anyhow gl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Lets not forget how expensive 22s with tyres are when saying that FR19s are expensive

Well, i think you need some sort of kit when putting such huge rims on a car... wheels need to be filled out, (not like a shopping trolley)- as previously stated, but ofcourse mate... watever is floatin your boat, is what should be done...........

How Low are you expecting this thing to sit? Because with the 22's its going to literally sit 'higher' than stock...

No point putting billets on if they're not dished!
