Can you even steer the thing? Wow, what fun driving in a straight line, until something blocks my way. Then, shut her down, sob, and walk the rest of the way.

De-De-Deeee!!

I have notice a couple of points.

1. That is the best way to make your car look like Sh*it.

2. He wants to turn heads for all the wrong reasons.

3. The 3 alien pods in the trunk needed flying saucers to get home.

4. K-Mart speed shop got ahold of that car.

RWTQ is probably down by 30% because of those wheels!

They might fit but that looks rediculously ugly... I like big wheels too, as long as the overall diameter stays roughly the same size. In this case they look like they belong on a SUV.

This car was in Luxury Imports magazine last November (or so). Sweet car, the guy spent like $150,000 on it. These 22's are definitely sweet!

That car is too low to be driveable. Hence the pitted bumper. There is only so low you can go before you can't go into any parking lot... etc. Mine is 1-2 inches higher than that car but about 1 inch lower than stock. And I have to say it is borederline to low and I am thinking about raising it a tad... too many obstacles and I can't clear 40-50% of speedbumps and parking lot entrances. I can't imagine having my car 1-2 inches lower ...

Why does anyone care what an owner does with his own car? Those silly looking wheels just make everyone else's C5/Z06 look that much better.
I think they look beautiful on his car (mild sarcasm is empowering).
