22s are pushing it in my opinion... 24 may be too big there. But as always, as long as you like it...

To each his own...

I am not the biggest fan of the wheels, or the color orange. Maybe if it was different wheels and red color it might be nice.
Personally, I would rather get the calipers painted rather than the wheel itself.

BTW, how about painting the hood, tailgate, and top of the car orange?

I think those wheels look wicked. Personally I would get the spokes all painted black and just leave an orange band around the lip. I think it's Giovanna that makes wheels with a removable color band - which you could snap on and off or even change colors at any time! Any other orange accents you do would have to be very subtle. Maybe get the kidney grills painted blk and only the chrome surround painted orange; or a small orange decal in the rear side window.

I think it looks awesome. Props to you! I wish more people would do something out of the ordinary and have fun with their cars. I'm trying to decide on some wheels myself, problem is I can't afford anything I like...Hamann, HRE, Modulare, etc.

What kind of wheels are those, and what size tires?? Did you notice any change in the height of the vehicle or are you going to lower it too?
