Why drive around in the same car like everyone else has, there are alot of Bentley's on 22's. Same thing I heard on the Range Rover forums when looking for rims everyone was saying get 22's. 24's won't fit no one has done them it will rub. I went with the 24's, and guess what now one is on 26's? If you aint pushing the envelope you aint pushing 
I agree with the first part of your statement. "Why drive around in the same car like everyone else has" That is why I make my cars different. Don't take the comments that people make on your brother's car to harsh, variety is the spice of life, that is why god created Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads, there alllll Goooooood!!!!!

+1 there. The R8 is a work of art with some ground-hugging guts. M6 mostly just art. I drove both, then decided on Porsche. All these cars are great to look at. In my 'hood, there are too many nasty rigged Evo's that will blow away everything else in short runs. So regardless of my sled, I don't do many take-offs from green lights anymore. I'm no longer of the mind set to buy an inexpensive car, then mod it to the point of undrivability just to say I got the fastest one around.

Now I'm not saying the Bentley is near that level of extreme, but I think it would look way better with slightly smaller rims. I bet your Range looks sick with 24's though. Of course style and preference is all a matter of personal opinion and should be taken as such.

In person the 22's just don't look big enough in comparison to stock. This car actually looks really good with 24's. There are so many Bentley with 22's but there is only one other one in this area on 24's. He did it because he saw my brothers car!

Interesting points about your brother's car, germeezy! An F.U. car need not apologize for the wheels it wears

Just because people think something looks terrible doesn't mean they're hating, sometimes they simply don't like it. I agree uniqueness is always a fresh perspective, but far too often trying to be different just for the sake of being different ends up with a horribly failed end result. Also, in many cases bigger is not necessarily better (as I feel the case is for rims). i.e.

To each his own, but as beautiful as the stock Bentley is, the one featured above feels like a travesty done for Flava Flave on an episode of Unique Whips on Nascar TV (I mean Speed channel)
Sorry mate, I am glad it floats your boat, but I just ain't feelin' it...

The R8 has launch control with the R-tronic transmission. I do not know how it compares to the M6, but it beats a Z06 Corvette off the line for about 30 feet. I could not find the you tube video, but here is a launch controlled R8.

And I am sorry I see stock cars as a canvas for personalization.

I ain't feelin the one series, but that doesn't mean that I would call it a travesty of Bangle design.
