Smile Made the switch to 22" on the panam 4s

Hey, finally got around to changing the wheels on the panam. I always felt the factory 20" looked too small in proportion to the car. I went with a set of Victor Innsbruck 22" in semi-gloss black. The tires are pirelli pzero. Total package out the door at discount tire was $3500. not bad!! I've had three piece wheels before but had issues with them bending so I decided to try this rotary forgedw wheel. It's a much lighter wheel than a typical cast wheel, I'm really happy with them. My main concern was adding rotating weight but It's barely noticeable. I'm waiting for the matching black center caps but my factory charcoal ones don't look bad. For anyone on the fence, I'm glad I did it, the car rides pretty much the same, handles a bit better... but looks super nasty!!

Multipiece forged wheels are a waste of money anyway if you're gonna do the blacked out thing. Why spend big bucks for wheels you can't see. This looks the same as 10K wheels.

$3500 for 22s with tires? Man, that's an awesome deal. Aren't 22in tires like $6-700 a piece? You are basically getting the rims for free.

Wow! Very, very nice! But does having the larger wheels impact speed or handling?
