I just received my set of 22 inch hre p43l and when I went to open up to put them on, I thought to myself these things are ridiculously huge. Did you all think so before you mounted them on the car?

I thought so too, so I ordered my HRE's in 21's.

The 22's fill up the wheel well nicely but you're right....they just seem too big for the car.

love the car with 22's/tech art body kit
they look great however if you want all the performance the car is capable of stick with 20's.

+1....22"s look awesome, but there is no way I would go bigger than the 20's if the car is anything close to a DD. Perfect combination of looks and performance.

car looks nice with 22's but I still prefer the 20's on this car, especially since I like the occassional track day!

the stock wheels I have are 9.5 front and 11.5 inch wide and factory. also brakes fill them pretty well....

Very nice wheels...just "too little" sidewall rubber for my tastes.....

Anyway, of course to each his own....drive safely!
