I'm pretty sure those aren't even 24s....They look like 22's.

That's because they are. Putting a 24" wheel would leave less than a half-inch of sidewall, if I'm not mistaken.

IMO, they're painted pretty poorly, and I'm not one for body-paint matching. To each his own, though.

Definitely 4's. And yes Florida roads are very nice for the most part.

I am guessing you won (or lost, depending on your point of view) the Pimp My Ride contest?

Sorry, don't care for the look at all.

Are they really 24's? The sidewall width looks very similar to another picture I saw on CL of an RX with 22's.

Yeah, they're 22's. No way 24s would have that much tire. Plus, they're straight up ugly anyway.

Stopping distance hasn't improved much. Look at the first picture, he clearly stopped wayy past the line

I'm going to say 24". I've seen 22" rims on RXs before and these do look larger.
