Default Check out this poor S8 w/ 22" wheels.

Looks like someone tried to be a big dog. Can you say 0-60 in 5 mins. What a shame.

Default Looks like photoshop, or ...

or just gawd awful 20's. Compare the sidewall height of the tires on the 22's to those on my 20's. It looks like about the same sidewall, and perhaps even a smaller overall diameter with the 22's.

Default Those two pics were taken at different placement. The trees are the same, just in one pic more is...

showing than the other. Look closely. Same car, different wheels, different spot by about 10 feet. The rain look is real, and to photochop in wet pavement with a reflection of a rim would be TOUGH.
