I agree completely with E55 KEV. I think there is plenty enough sidewall to justify a 20" wheel. 22"+ on the other hand may look nice, but the ride quality sacrifice from small sidewall and added mass from the larger wheel, will make you regret the ride quality and money spent on the large fancy chrome wheels. Be careful if you have never done this before (go to plus sized wheels, that is). I personally will not even go to 20" wheels until I can verify the new wheel/tire combo is not heavier than the factory 18" wheel/tire combo. That is why in an earlier post I have asked for those privaledged few current owners to pull a wheel of and throw it on a scale for a ball park weight.
