I have seen a LOT of pictures of the limited with 22's If you are local I would have no problem letting you come over and put the wheels on and drive around a bit to see what they are like. I was honestly VERY surprisedby the ride quality vs. the stock 18's. Although I have heard that the stock 8's ride particulary rough, so I am not sure if it is a good comparison or not.

The wheels aren't on the car. I could post pics of my car, but the wheels aren't on the car anymore. They were only on for a day before I took them off. They are too bling for me. I am going with 20s. I really like them a lot, but they will get stolen (I have to park on the street) If I had a garage I would keep these and not lose $1000 on them, but I am too much of a worry wart to do it.

Those wheels are cool, but I'm saving for the TIS 03s.

generally when you dyno a car you are rating horsepower and torque at the wheels. When a factory specifies power they have the engine sitting on an engine stand and they are measuring the power at the crank. With a rear wheels drive car there are generally big losses due to the drivetrain and differential. Losses of 20% are common, and that is about what 60 HP is when dealing with 340.

Yeah, as 300C Madd Dogg says, what you're seeing is crank versus rear wheel. Of all the dynos that I've seen of the stock-ish 300C, the highest HP I've seen is 305 Rear Wheel HP (RWHP). The range seems to be around 280-305 HP and 320-340 ft-lb.
