im not a fan of oversized wheels, but i have seen them on cars that look god including some members cars. So this is a 2 part question 1. do you think these wheels are too much? (22's) and whats is your favourite wheel/tire size combo? this charger had black slotted 15's before these ugly things and it gave the car a "nascar" type look (it looked pretty cool) btw, this is not a members car

That's so funny 'cause I told hubby we should stick some 22s up under his fender the other day.  I like the look, but hubby doesn't

I'm not as anti-big as most people on here, but that's just too freakin' much...  Maybe some 18's at the most, I'm probably going with 17's myself.

Ah Yes, the Power of Television... if we want your opinion, we'll give it to you...

Nothing over 15" looks good on a classic in my opinion. I believe that if 22" wheels looked good on a 68, then they would have put them on back in 1968. Your can thank todays media, advertising, and the slime oozing out from your TV set for all those pimped out wheels you see today. Simple minded sheople just love to be lead around... told what to think, what to wear, what to buy, what looks cool... Hey, I know, lets make that car look really sharp... Let's put some spinners on there too!

I think 14's or 15's looks the best but up to 18 is OK.

I have always believed that 18" was the maximum that you could have and still keep the proportion between the wheels and wheelwells, but this this is C@@L, also that some one dare to challenge the one and only original look way of today. :coolgleamA:

Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

Even though I agree the wheels are a bit too much, could have gone somewhat smaller. I think the rest of the car looks downright awesome. As does the RR, satellite or something in between.
