I was pretty sure it was 22's.
ANyway, I thought the guy was pleasant. He didn't start the flaming.
I personally appreciate other's tastes.
However, I do believe that 22's is pushing the limits of safety on this particular car. The weight biased to the outside of the wheels creates significant inertia that WILL tax the brakes and slow acceleration. The jarring and torque on the suspension will reduce the life expectancy of many suspension componenets. I have dealt with trucks that have suffered terribly with 22's. Bushings, bearings, tie rods, and even the shocks all rely on a little buffer of rubber to remain reliable.
Most of us can admit that the biggest tires under any car look the best. As long as you recodnize the limitations of an extreme setup like this, why not go for it.
The ugly factory brakes will look rediculous behind 22's. If you have the coin for decent big wheels, then a brake set should be on the list. At the very least for estetics alone.

Craig - they guy that got flamed for selling his rims was selling 20's I believe. I agree he did not go about it the right way on a public forum. I did have a few email exchanges with him and he was quite pleasant.
