i like it bro. originally i wanted that like brownish colored pathfinder. i think it was either called pewter or something idk. but i wanted that with black rims. i think contrast makes a car nicer and noticable. once you get your window tints it would make it look much better. then the other accessories.

Congratulation It is jus my opinion but might i recommend bigger brakes & changing the rear brakes to disk.Normally i wouldn't recommend this but seeing how you already have the wheels... would you consider lowering it to get rid of the extra space in the wheel well.

I would love Bigger brake but I have to put my OEM 16's back on in winter and i might have a fitment issue.

Few Pictures after taking off my Running boards and my new tints.





Enjoy

What about these instead of doing the tinting blackout (no light loss either)http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAP...99813

I've been considering them for my pathfinder as well and would like someone else to order them first

I like it, anyone who doesn’t simply doesn’t get a 22” wheel… life is easy.

I have a 1964 Lincoln Continental as well, the forum I use there separates "restoration" from "customization" and I sit on the fence with semi-custom. I don’t go in either sides post and judge people who spend $45,000 on a 40+ old car? Restores who may disagree with customizers don't post WTF messages there and vice verse?



Man as far as I can remember this is my dream build car! 64 Lincoln ..... One day, some day...

With the tint the truck looks sick, I been really itching to get some black 22's for my Q...I think those are 22x8.5, and just wondering have you checked the direction on those front tires? Also to those who say you need bigger brakes I would disagree, the overall diameter of this wheel setup is the same as the stock 17's with the larger tires just a bit wider (at least on my QX4) ...also I find the ride on my 22's with the 35 series rubbers to be a lot smoother than the stock wheels.

Yea i changed the direction long time ago and the rims are 22 x9.5. Big brakes would be nice since these wheels weight a fu$k. I just ruined my ball joints due to weight of rims and lowering springs. FML

ya I suppose if your wheels are alot heavier than upgrading the brakes would be a must...my wheels only weigh 5 pounds more than the stock ones thats propably why I havn't noticed too much difference in braking...do you have an updated pic of your pathfinder lowered with the rims on? do you have rubbing issues when turning your wheels? Considering getting my Q lowered.
