Fitting Overfinch 22" Tiger Alloys.....

Like the look of these alloys but I have a slight concern regarding the ride quality after stepping up from the 20"s that are fitted to the TDV8? Anyone have these or any 22"s on a car and can give me some feedback please?

Cheers Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 

There are several members who have 22's or even 23's.

They all have differing opinions but I suspect it's down to the qualityt of tarmac you drive on most regularly.

For roads in UK and here in Cyprus I personally think 20's are the limit. Others will disagree.

I think it's Bodster(?) who has 23\s fitted in Portugal and claims to have no issue with ride quality.

If you've noticed the difference moving up to 20's then logic dictates that any further increase is going to have an exponential increase in firmness/crashiness.

Also remember that there is a possible link between fitment of wheels 20"+ and premature failing of steering/front suspension components Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

ST so what you are saying is that the 20"+ wheels do affect the lifespan of suspension/ steering/axle ect. components?
Hmmm, than that would be no brainer for me Big Cry
Thank Thumbs Up

I have Of 22"s on my RRS.

Here in jersey the roads are worse than the carribean, but I would say that the ride is only marginally worse than 20"'s Chawton White TDV6 HSE with Alpaca and Rodium, Automatic Climate Control,

Tell me about it ST... Down most main roads, its not too bad but if you try take any side street it's pot hole after pot hole... I've got 22's on my RRS so I try stick to highways/beach road so there's no real noticeable loss in ride quality...

Laughing The standard of roads in Paphos are genrerally s Censored t!!

Even riding on 20's sometimes feels too firm but i'd never go back to 19's purely on aesthetics!! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Well from what I remember about Paphos roads I'd have to agree... Very Happy Very Happy

Limassol's not a great deal better but its bearable... And my 22's are going nowhere!
