22" is way too big IMO, 20 is jsut right and 19 if you want to have a lower look.

19's or 20's but lower the car first. Without it lowered our car looks like a dune buggie.

22's are a great way not be like everyone! However, imo, bags or a really good drop w/ body kit to offset the height is the only way to get away with them. I like my 22's

Design of the tsw are nice. I would only get 22's if I was going on bags. If not, then 20's all the way.

If you get 22's I'm going to say that your going for the GA look...and right now that is not a good look, 19's or 20's staggered and some coils would make up for the cost of the 22's.

Default 22s on GS

I have 22s on my GS and they fit perfect. wheels are 22x8.5 offset +35 tires are 235/30 22. No rub at all and rides almost as smooth as factory wheels.
