I'm serisously considering these rims in black with silver outer lip. My question is would they stick out or rub on the wheelwell? I'm not getting flares but I will get the tequipment wheel arc trim.

What do you guys think?

 

Buy my wheels instead! Wheel arches look great when prep'ed and painted.

 

Are your wheels 22 X 10? I'm getting a black CT, do you think I would need to get the wheel arc trims painted? Don't they come in black or do they look much better color matched?

 

I am pretty sure the are 22X10 they do not stick out like other wheels the offset is perfect and the sit on the 295's. The wheel arcs look like **** not painted. they are 1000% sharper painted to match.

 

I might be interested in your wheels, I'm still in the research mode right now since my CT won't be here til late Dec.
Should I not order the CT with the wheel arc trim from the factory and have it painted/installed aftermarket? Thanks for the advice.

 

I would definatley order them seperatley they need to have them taken off in order to paint.

 

Definitely get sandoval rims if ur getting a black tt

 

I never like Hamann, too ricey don't you think?

I think Eric's wheels are 22x10 because it does not stick out. I wanted to get HRE 22x10.5 but it sticks out by 0.25" each side that is why I bought the 9.5

 

Hamann rims are known to be very heavy and overpriced. I think there are much better options out there in terms of weight and value. I must admit, the Hamann rims do look good though.

 

Deetz,
Would the 22 X 10.5 HRE's appear to stick out if you had the wheel arc trim? What do you think?

 

I think it will, I am not very sure, I would not do it though

 

My opinion is that the wheels that stick out on these vehicles look funny. I was in traffic behind a E55 yesterday that had the wrong offset wheels about a 1/2 inch to much I was thinking that it looks terrible. The wheel arcs do not add more then a 1/4 inch extension they are mostly to give the body detail.

 

Why not? Thanks

 

as Eric said, it will look terrible if the wheels stick out. I have seen alot of M3s in Boston that the wheels stick out, terrible! There is also one RR with 0.5" stick out wheels on each side, terrible...

 

the hamann 22x10.5 is flush with the fender - we actually sell those all the time.
