    Anyone got these? I'd say 22" does.

    Apart from that, I'd say ridiculous, imo anything over 19 is overkill.

    Way too big.
    they do, 22s look absolutly stupid on a commodore. for more info check my thread in general about 'stupid things people say about commodores'.


    i seriously suggest you do not get a set. get some 19s for half the price. or if you want big wheels go 20 max but nothing else

    i think 22's would look good on a newer commy but the car cant be all wheels. it has 2 have the rest of the bling 2 go with it. but i would need body mods to make it sit like i want it. but its not impossable. ive seen a vn or vp with 22s on another forum and it looks like its built 4 it. it really looks good and not over the top. im all 4 22's

    Fit with no mod's? Not a wheel/ tyre expert but what profile would the tyres be, 15's? Would sit very very low under the guards, yes?

    Jaysus! Imagine the weight of those things...you'd never want to run over a pebble in it otherwise you'd damage the f*cker.

    22 inches strong? You'd need a double thickness alloy to stop them from kinking in the centre cause you've got no metal to oppose the bending forces from the outer rim. And so on and so forth...
    Oh the wonderful things I could do to my car...
    if I had more money, no kids, no wife, no second car, no job, no rent, nowhere to be, didnt need food, didnt need beer...damn.

    My $0.02

    have you seen that car in real life? it is one fuggin imaculate car man. and its got the power to back up the show. it pulled 700 - 800 on the dyno at summernats... that was before they spilt fuel on the exhaust headers while trying to take a sample and almost burnt it to the ground

    if i can find some pics ill put them up

    hey troy, well being in eastern states i obviously havent seen it as im a perth boy, but from what pictures i have seen in magazines and on the internet, yeah the paint job looks good and the engine is immaculate, but i just cant handle them big 22s on it, thats the bit that dissapoints me...

    cheers, Todd
