I like it gives us something to talk about

 

i love the look of 22"s on the 2nd gs dont know how the ride is but maybe i'll find out shortly.

 

How about these?

 

It looks off da hook, but im assuming that is on air???

you can't drive that car normally, whats the point of people looking at you
when u can't even have fun with your own ride?? unless you going 4 that shooter look or your an attention W.H.O.R.E, lol

1 dip, or bump, your screwed.

I say this because my 20's rub slightly depending on how i turn etc,
explain to me how this doesn't rub?

100% show, but no go

 

Those pics are from JAPAN - thats VIP there! The roads in Japan are spectacular - they don't have dips or potholes like we have!! Its where you want to be rolling that low - from what I've heard from people in Japan -They roll - Slammed!!

So they do Show and GO!!

 

For show, then heck yeah but too drive and worry about dips and holes in the road then it's not worth it.

 

i dont see the point of going over 20 inch rims on a sedan, the car will look like a mini SUV if u dont lower it and if u lower it, the body hangs over the rims which looks completely ridiculous. 22's on cars are for ppl who think grills look nice in their mouths. honestly 19s are best for performance and aesthetics, any larger than 19s and ur in for a bumpy ride. I bet that gs with 22's cant go over 60mph without worrying about the vibrations and lack of control on his ride.

 

i can see that guy from japan races it, you can see the intercooler and the brakes or it maybe there for show.

 

I totally agree with you - I had 4 sets of 19's and finally went down to a smooth 18" setup for driveablity.. In a perfect world I would run 19's but 18's are the best all round size.. Everything 20" and up is for show or a fad.. and Every year the wheel size gets bigger and bigger - just the other afternoon I saw a Mustang GT with 24's on it Thats the nastiest thing I ever seen - Its one of those things you wish you didn't see..

 

thats waht im talkin bout

 

They have some damned nice roads in Japan cities. Nice, smooth, and flat. One of my buddies said he can roll around in a car thats 2-3" off the ground with no problems

 

i agree they look great... but 19s are about as big as i'd go on a daily driven car maybe 20s if you can some how put a descent tire around them and still drive with too much rubbing

I wish this car was sitting in my garage!!

 

i'd rather have the rims as part of the car, not THE car.
my general rule of thumb is to not have the rims overpower the car - whether it's 19's 20's or 22's. the first looked a bit large (small pic, though), the 2007 looked VERY nice. the gold and the black ones - all i could look at were those large rims. didn't add to the look of the car, i was just looking at the rims. it didn't work for me.

i'm also with papi on this one; lowered means to the ground, not just to the tires. putting 22's on and lowering to the tires still puts you somewhere around stock hight from the road.
uhh...no.

just my (old school) perspective.
PEACE.

More crap, a new Altima, which of course wants to be a GS
