I like the sportier looking wheel on the CGT.... from my experience 22" wheels are a hassle. The car is extremely heavy, combined with the low profile tire and the fact that the car is just asking to be floored makes it an extremely dangerous combination. I must have had 12 flats. You need a ftrong 21" wheel, it limits your selection but its worth it in the long run

I have 19's on my 360 and those are a problem at times.

I can't imagine 22" wheels. Those would be bicycle tires!

I would not disagree with this statement. It makes great sense.

I think the most I'd go on a Spur would be 20" and I'd prefer to stay with 19". There are good replacement struts available for the Spur that could tighten the suspension if necessary.

I have to find the right car first, and then I can decide.

Thanks for the advice.

They don't show it in the catalog they recently e-mailed me.

They show only 22" rims.

Is the 20" to which you are referring by Mansory?

Wheel Experts has a reputation beyond repute

Here's some Modulare M3s on a CGT (not white though but you can get the idea)

This was one of our SEMA cars from 2006. It has a WALD kit on it as well. We placed it in the M&M magazine booth.

definitely go with the 22's, anything less looks like they are to small while still leaving some fender gap. 23's would be ideal.

I've got a set of 22" NC Forged on my Spur and they are hell. Going to go 20" here real soon with more sidewall. I keep the car up high anyway, so I don't mind the gap. If I knew who made a really nice 21" wheel and I could get enough sidewall to soften the ride a bit, I might be persuaded to do that.
