    Looks alright to me. I didn't think you could get 22"s that have a sufficient load and speed rating.

    You're insane I gave up on 19's for my VX because there was too much to do and you went and put 22's on it!!! way to do the impossible man looks good.

    Yeah... not huge on this... 20's are the max that looks good on VT-VZ. 22's are VE territory. Also, in my opinion you need big brakes to pull of big rims.

    Well done on getting them to actually fit, but they do look a touch silly and safe to said they are well and truely illegal.

    What are the tyre details? width/load rating/profile?

    I'm sorry i am not keen on this.. 22s are just too big for VX's.

    Congrats on making them fit though, would of taken some work.
