Not that it would be correct, but I bet if he attempted the same with a set of 22" HRE or such, he would at least have a chace to get SOME consideration.

I have always said thought the G35 / 350z could pull off a set of 21" wheels, and looking at these pics, furthers my suspicion. The 22" on the other hand are just too much of a good (or bad?) thing.

Thanks for sharing TX.

the actual wheel looks ok to me its just too big for that car IMO

nah, trust me, when you see TIS wheels in person, they have a certain look to them, lets just put it like that, they may be chrome with a nice lip (same all around, LOL), but no one is going to confuse them with real multi-piece quality wheels. The chrome is wavy, and discolored in alot of cases, plus they have issues with it peeling on the lip.

if the car is going to be as "bulky" feel as the 7 series

for example? i think 22s on the s class would be another disaster
