Default Ruff R953 22/20 combo on a C5Z pics

Just got this new wheel info sent to me from Ruff.
I am clueless as to why they would go with a 22/20 combo for the C5 but well thats what they did.
Just thought I would share the pic for everyone to comment on good bad ect
IF someone whould happen to like this 22/20 look I can set you up with them

I like the look of the wheel and its not to terrible on the car. Just a little big for me
Just wish the size was say a 19/20

Takes about 45 or so people to preorder wheels to get them to make a new style with correct offsets as well.

Ok here is the pic they sent me
enjoy it, hate it speak your mind

You asked. Too big and too thin of a side profile. IMHO it looks like somone added custom wheelchair wheels to a car.

The wheel itself is pretty cool, but those rears are wayyyyy too big. I'd much rather see a 20/19 or 19/18 combo.

Tell them to bring the 279's back in 17's and 18's, minimum 18 x 9.5 rear. I loved those wheels.

I like the wheel design, though I like that R947 better. In this size it ends up looking a lot like those cartoons that you see of the C5 where the rears are WAY bigger than the fronts. And look at how tiny that rear rotor looks with that 22. I wonder if you could strap some C6Z front rotor/calipers onto the back wheels to make it fill out better.

look good at a show i guess, but wouldn't want to actually drive there. i can't imagine how stiff those sidewalls would be.

Well I quess you wouldn't have to worry about the 4x4 look anymore, you definately couldn't lower it.

Diameter too large and width too narrow. Double-fail.

Wheel looks OK, but not in those sizes. I agree that max should be 19/20 sizes.
