Need help with 22's
I can get these 22's for $1,600 brand new from a tire shop here local. I'm having a hard time with this dead 5x5 bolt pattern. They are hard to find anywhere since no new car dealer really makes the 5x5 anymore, they are all 6x5.5 anymore. This wheel was in a tire shop, and had a tire mounted, and they let me take it and see what it looked like and how it fit. I got it at my place and here's the pics.
It fits perfect out back. Does't lay out. Here's why lol. I think after I cut it will lay out, but will the tire come up in the hood? Do I need a smaller tire? The setup is 22x10, 6.29bs, and 265/35's. Just want to hear everyones opinions on this setup, and how the wheels look. Last edited by The Big Green; 11-12-2009 at 07:18 PM. |

Re: Need help with 22's
These are from a local shop and they are $200 a wheel. Billets aren't $200 per wheel.

Re: Need help with 22's
You asked for opinions, so here goes.
They look like they belong on a late '70's Cutlass Supreme with metal flake paint. |

Re: Need help with 22's
On a dark Forrest green 67, what would look the best? I've juggled chrome, and black and machined. It's so hard to choose.

Re: Need help with 22's
that tire size is 29.30 inches. i wouldnt even think about puting a 30 series tire on it. dont get wheels just because they are cheap for you, get what you really like and also think about the availability of getting a new one if something happens to one ( crack/ bent )
i work for a wheel and tire shop and i see 20's and up with ruined wheels that are discountinued or unable to find |

Re: Need help with 22's
There is nothing wrong with putting a chrome wheel on a classic truck. Putting "that" wheel on one is another story. It's just not an attractive wheel in "my opinion".
We can all appreciate being on a tight budget. Regardless of your budget, don't make choices that you might regret later. If "you" like that wheel, then go for it. If your considering it only because its cheap, please keep looking

Re: Need help with 22's
I don't know what you plan for paint but you can make those work. To knock down the bling a little paint the sections between the spokes to mach the truck. A little detail goes a long way

I'm just wanting opinions on for a choice. If I got a wheel like Coy's that most people get, I could go grey center, or black, or whatever. |
