it might be because i've had my wheels for a while now, but those 22's look like 20's, and for some reason my 20's look smaller and smaller everyday...... :scratch: those wheels look nice though, zenetti throwback's right?

You better watch your mirrors, Shea. You just offended many important people who have Street Scene GT's. Adrenalin, VC4life, and myself, GhostGT.

Your gonna be seeing this in your rearview soon...

Looks pretty good. A lot better than the others. A bit big for me, but that's definitely unique to each person.

You DEFINITELY need some bigger brakes though. I hate huge wheels and dinky little stock brakes. Check out Precision Brakes Company for brakes. I am running their 14" 4-Pistons on all 4 corners of my car.

I'll be posting pics of them as soon as I have them and the new wheels on.

I like the style or rim but 22's are too big IMO.

It'll look dynamite with some Cross-drilled or slotted brakes.

Why degrade your car as such? :scratch: Our cars look nothing like rice.

Personally, I wouldn't add anything to my car that will slow it down.

Too big IMO. 20's is the limit, heck, I wouldn't even put 20's on my car. Extra weight = extra tenths on the 1/4.

The car is gorgeous - the wheels are too big in my opinion.. Anything larger than 18's on these cars just does not look right..

But - like I always say - If it makes you happy, that's all that really counts..

Personally I can't see anything bigger than 18 inch on the Mustang, but that's just me!

Its funny to read peoples' post saying "anything larger than 18's is riced out or "bling bling" .... when not to long ago the same thing was said about people who were putting 17" wheels on their car .....IMO the car looks awesome ....

Your car has a unique look, which works very well in this case. You actually see the inside of the front rims through the large forward air dam, adding further to the wheels radical looks, and enabling one to see both sides of the front rims. With the silver color of your Mustang, the rims, which are now visually closer to the body panels, blend well with an integrated silver/chrome color scheme.
With the wheel size diameter of:
(25.5 cm)*(1/2.54 inches/cm)*30%*2 + 22" = 28.0" diameter
and compared with the stock wheel diameter of 27.2", you will actually be traveling 72 MPH at an indicated 70 MPH
70 MPH * (28.0/27.2) = 72 MPH.
