Hey 6SpeedOnline,

Got such good responses from the Bentley GT, thought I see what you guys think of our Bentley Flying Spur.

Thanks!

Is that windshield tinted as well?

Wheels look nice but 22"! Are those bicycle tires?

How do you prevent those rims from being damaged?

Are Florida's roads that good?

Style is ok, but the size is way overdone. Once you go past 20 there is little gain, if any, in performance with larger losses in ride quality.

I have to agree with this view. That's a whole lot of metal and little rubber.

There's quite a dramatic effect upon braking and the ABS for me.

I think there is a middle ground from where ride and looks can meet. I have to say the ride on that car meets it. Good ride. Good look.

IMO, that is 20 for a sedan, or big coupe and 19 for a sports car. My rule of thumb is if you need to be careful on everyday streets, that's fine but if you have to drive excruciatingly slow over rougher surfaces, train tracks etc.... it's too much show and not enough practicality.

Not a big fan of those wheels.

I have 22" on my GT and as people have said you do lose the ride quality but it is not as much as people are saying.

I switched from the 20" diamond series wheels that come with that model to the HRE 943R's I love them and they look awesome. I cannot tell you how many people stop me when the car is parked or when I am driving and tell me how sic my car is. The 22"s bring that response.

In terms of how to keep them from not bending or breaking. I have had mine for 6k miles and have 0 problems. I drive 150 miles round trip to LA and I drive over some ****ty roads, but I go slow on those roads and the ride quality with the looks is awesome. I would not want to go back to the 20"s.

Just my 2 cents.

Ice

A kit would make that car shine.
