Hot wheels. I probably would have gone with a 21 or even 20 but these still look hot.

What do you plan for the brakes now? You're not just going to get a good set of rims are you?

I also have Symbolic wheels and I love them. Great quality and the chrome is well done.

Congrats on your Fine Ride.

I love Toyo but after running at least 7 or 8 sets over the years, I thought it was time for a change. And something about Pirelli and 22" is just synonymous.

LOL! You know... I was thinking I could just leave em' stock... But a nice set of cross-drilled w/ silver 4-pots are calling my name.

Why thank you sir. Honestly I was on the fence on this purchase: E55, wait for the GS460. All in all I have been VERY pleased and the car is just fantastic.

TXSTYLE, congrats on the new wheels brotha! Looks good.

What are the tire sizes? If you have a 295 rear, isn't an 11.5" wheel too wide and stretching it too much? I think anything wider than 295/25/22 in the rear will rub when the car is lowered.

My rear is 295/25/22 but with an 11" wheel and it barely clears.
