Agreed, not a great wheel.

I still can't decide but edging towards number 1 with the supersports. Was hoping to find something a little different tho.

Got to be Kahn or Overfinch IMHO. The rest look either Photoshopped or just plain crap.  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Are you guys seeing a different picture to me, they are truly shocking IMHO

That's the beauty of personal taste I suppose
Me? I think they all look stupid! Never understood the fascination with 22inch rims. But again, it's personal taste.

But, with a gun to my head, I'd probably go for the Kahn ones (14?) out of all of them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Personally I like No.1 , 12 and 14 but each to there own

How do 22" wheels affect the ride and generally how wide should the rims be to get the "right" look

The ride is definitely harder but it's not a massive difference when moving up from 20's. You will probably wear bushes out a wee bit quicker because of the firmer ride.

One thing I've noticed is that, in my opinion, the car sits a tad too high when the suspension height is normal - the rims don't look as best they could. If it were to be dropped by 0.5"-1" it would transform the looks again. Personal taste though. The pic below was taken with the suspension in access height.

I'd change from 20 to 22 going by experience.

toshers I agree 22's and normal height make the alloys look like bobbin wheels

Mine runs 25mm lower than Normal ride height using my EAScontrol unit and with minimal deterioration in ride quality.

(This picture shows it in normal ride height not access)

Where can you buy an EAS control unit? Could this be programmed in if the car was mapped? Reason I ask is because I'm seriously considering having it mapped, two birds with one stone and all that
