it's not really my taste, because i don't really like chrome OR any wheels over 19" , but it sounds like you really like them, and that's all that matters! good luck on dropping it, and i hope everything works out as planned!

Hmmm dont really know what to say. When I first got my 20's put on...I said to myself it looked a little small so I thought "maybe I should have went with 22's". Now Im glad I didnt. Theyre a little too big for my taste, but I gotta give you a 
for the choice of rim. Maybe once its dropped itll look a lot better. Hey at least you got it looking like your previous sig picture!

Congrats on the new wheels. I could never do something like that down here in PA with our roads. 20's will have to do. Those things look too big for my taste. Enjoy your rims man! BTW what do tires run in that size? $350 or more a pop?

Hey man, those rims look HUGE!!! I have to give you props on doing the 22's. I would have gone with the double duce too but, the roads are messed up around here....plus I'm in the city at least once a week. Good Luck with them and let me know how your ride is when you get the coils in.

Hey Tek, nice wheels bro, good luck on the NE roads. Nice seeing you saturday too. Congrats on the wheels. Let me know when you want to have a meet.. By the way 22's are crazy bro.. I am on pins and needles with 20's. Good luck my man.

Looks good the way it turned out and I think 22's look great on the 6th gens. I really liked the Carltons becuase they looked classy but I figured once that picture came out a few months ago, everyone who wanted 22's would get those first. Nice choice tho, and I'm also interested how much they set you back too. The roads here are good and I try not to drive too far daily so when I get ready to make that move I gotta go 22.

Looking good Tek. Too bad that your lady did not like your original choice or rims (those were hot). But the ones you have now are pretty nice. But the first thing that ran through my mind when i saw your pics was "DAAAAAMN" those things are huge. Looking good over all and as long as you (and your lady) like it nothing else matters.
You have to kill that front gap though.

Gotta give ya credit for droppin those on their Tek...those things are huge! On the other hand it's not my taste. I'm sure they look alot better in person but they are just big! Maybe I'll get a better look if we can get you to roll to the NE meet in July. Watch them potholes!

but overall its like I never put the rims on......... like I said the installer spun the 22's on pavement by mistake, he spun 22's!!!!
this car handles the rims perfect....... no regrets at all.....
