22" Rims

[Gwest44]

Amazing some of the deals you can pick up if you visit your local friendly main dealer - for anyone interested these are available at Sytner in Sheffield, or at least they were yesterday

Or............... buy yourself two E85s.

You'd never keep those clean! Why do they make them all such fiddly designs?

 

[sars]

They are without doubt, hideous, do they come with a free toilet brush to get into the fiddly bits

Bargain! Not.
What an absolute nonsense of a price. Modern day piracy.

Stuart I've got a client with a Range Rover Sport Overfinch, one of the alloys had a crack, contacted Overfinch they wouldn't sell a single wheel, you have to buy a set of 4 ...... £8k

Mental. I live in a different universe.

The price is about right, can't find a new set of 4 online for less (bearing in mind tyres included).

It's just unfortunate they're so ugly and I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want 22" wheels on a car...

Aesthetics depending on the car type I'd say. We got rid of 20's and fitted 22's on our F Pace. No difference whatsoever in ride quality but £300 per corner for new tyres.

Would that be the Star Trek universe?

By now on FB we’d be seeing at least two E89s with these babies !

 

[Mr Tidy]

Good grief, they look horrible.

But as the saying goes you can't buy taste!

They'd be a PITA to clean and are those silver bits diamond cut? Can you even fit a 22" rim to a Z4 anyway? Hopefully not.

From an E89 perspective I've had 35 profile tyres on 19" rims so offsets aside i guess the 22" rims would fit with a tyre profile of 20 - can you even get tyres with a 20 profile?

 

[tomscott]

As soon as you curb one they are nakard.

Hate these newer wheel designs.

 

[Mr Tidy]

My MC had 19s when I bought it, but the rears were 265/30 so to get a similar radius on a 22" rim you'd be looking for a 15 profile, if such a thing exists!

I've struggled to even find decent tyres for much less than £300 on my 20" Audi wheels, I think they are an odd size though - replaced them with smaller wheels to solve the issue.

Personal taste I guess, and they do suit your F-Pace (maybe because it's huge but sort-of coupe-y), but I prefer more sidewall on a non-sports car.

God I so wish the trend was to go back to a smaller wheel and larger profile tyre especially with our UK roads.
I remember when 15" rims were considered massive
