Thanks for the comment, no rub anywhere, as far as the ride quality changing its a very slight difference, however the car only had 200 miles on it when I put them on, and now has 600 so couldn't give an honest answer. I drive Acura's full line up daily. 2014 RLX floats. Yes I would put 22s on one of those as well! I am not a fan of stretching tires because it is very unsafe and you will burn through tires alot faster than I will burn through brake pads, pads are alot cheaper than tires that is for sure!

LOL, only because I hate the Raiders.

You really enjoy being the resident dick on these boards don't you? Well one of them at least. I've seen a few of your comments that have me SMH.

Adding that huge amount of unsprung weight and rotational mass to your wheels/car is not conducive to good handling and performance.
Neither is stretching tires but for some reason people get a virtual round of applause on these boards when they do it.

I have been known to chase the "donk."

i really like the wheel design, in 20's they would be perfect. I agree getting the lip kit may help balance things out for you.

I cringed when I read 22's, but they didn't turn out too bad. Nice rim style too. I'd definitely lower it a bit more to close the gap and add the lip kit to fill the rest of the car out a bit...but not bad at all. I was expecting to see way more donk haha

The design of the wheel is alot better in person even, im really glad i chose this one. I just didnt think the 20s would satisify me. Thanks for the comment.

"Can't lose wit 22s!"

I think if you drop it slightly like an inch or so, it would actually make the wheels look smaller IMO and that's what I would go for. Maybe get Tein S-Techs? They will give you the drop without breaking the bank.

You think so? All "news" sources say she's broke. Her most recent movie was terrible (what I've read), and it sold worse then some direct to DVD movies. I would too, although I have to say if I did, it would've been better 5yrs ago; she looks like horrible. Poor Lindsay all that's left is hardcore porn lol.
