Send some of the heat up here. It's gettin' cold already.As for the rims, uh, in a word, no. Sorry.They would probably look good on a '75 Caprice, or maybe an Escalade, but not on your ride.Go for a 5 or 6 spoke rim, preferably not chrome. Just my $.02

I think 22's look way too big for the qx4/path, to me 20's seem to fit it just right. But whatever you like, it's all up to you

honestly dude i think those might look pretty good.

and i disagree with all the no 22's talk. i figure go big or dont bother especially if your gonna have another set for offroad. most girls melt when they see 22's or more well mine does.

i dont have anything against chrome but a shiney black with a big chrome lip would be nice.

ive see the flat black rims and they seem to destroy the look unless the vehicle paint is flat.

Not too particularily fond of the style -- I like the 5/6 spoke design myself.

Here's a pic of my 22's so you have an idea of the relative size:

Thought i would drop my 2 cents on this one as i hope to become more active on this board, personaly i love 22's on Qx4's pathys and all small SUV's for that matter dont get me wrong i love to see a nice rig that can rip up the trails its just the way i decided to go with mine. but more to the point fueler those rims look awsome and not a bad price but believe me brake dust and grime will sit in every single one of those spokes and the fake revets on the outer rim love to screw you over when your trying your very best to keep them clean lol might seem like a wierd thing to notice but iv made the mistake a few times i hope to see some pics of some douce douces on your truck in the future tho.

Good point Benny. I clean my rims (by hand) weekly to prevent brake dust from collecting. If they were any more intricate it would be a major P.I.T.A.

Chrome needs a lot more care than steel / alloy to keep it looking nice.

22" look big when you first put them on but after a while they look like stock, better yet, like they fit the truck just right, if i didn't have to raise the pathy 2" for 24" i would of throw those mothers on they were $200 cheaper too, but no i got 22"s, the way i see it as big as safely possible with out modifications

if thats your rim in your small photo, then HELL YEAH i like those big face dish style rims. I wont be getting 22's. I just put new BFG A/T (off road) tires on and they cleared out my wallet. although we did test fit some sikkk 17x10, black and chrome, with BFG and it looked AWESOME but they stuck out too far. the fronts were rubbing severely (even with a spacer) and the rears stuck out so far, the tires would hit the quarter panel HARD on any rough bumps or jumps.

We had to use a small spacer cause the center bore would not fit snugly over the front hub... and i dont like spacers as they put more stress on the lugs. I saw an F150 last week where the wheel came off on the freeway, turning his brake rotor into a moon-shaped paper weight and nearly killing the guy. Sure enough, he was running spacers.

thats part of what i mean by no modification, spacers are dangerous and sometimes they cause high speed vibrations, two times i brought rims and tires for two differents cars because both time i find that the tires alone were too expensive, but when u throw some rims and upgraded tires for extra $3 -400 then deal, the tires sizes i got were the same or even cheaper than stock tire sizes, and u get better specific tires as aposed to one allseason, i am a believer of winter tires until i can find some good allseason cause winters are way too expensive and they only last the first season

how much did the bfg's run u?
