Turned out much better than I thought!

The wheel is an ACE 'mesh 7'

22x9 +38 front and rear
Continental DWS TIRES 245/30/22

There is absolutely no rubbing (even with full capacity of people)..wheels are perfect flush to fender edge..very smooth ride... this is with stock sport suspension height.

The ride is seriously almost the same as stock 19s.. I think its mainly due to the tire brand choice..I did alot of research and kept coming back to this tire..very quiet and very comfortable!

I used a wheel shop called

'No Limit Incorporated'. off Belair road in baltimore MD (410-426-RIMS) ..the owner Matt was a pleasure and the customer service is top notch! Included gorilla locking lugs and painted the calipers black.. (although I am getting a custom nig brake kit very soon).. He had this done and tires mounted with switching my tmps in about an hour!

DO NOT USE a wheel shop up the road from no limit inc called 'Rim Source'..the owner kevin tried switching up prices after a cash deposit was made.. I believe he does this as his business strategy and also did a tax exempt because I was paying with cash.. not good businesses practices!!

Onto the pics!

The owner of the wheel company 'ACE Wheels' is putting my car up on their website!

I can't wait to get my 14" four-wheel big brake kit in! I ordered some 3000k HIDs for the fogs and some led reverse lights...may do halos for the headlights eventually..

Figured I would share!

I think 22's are too big for the M, but at least yours is tastefully done.

Nice work man!

Thanks guys!

I haven't had a chance to weigh the wheels.. But I believe they are llighter than my stock chrome 19s because my acceleration feels more quick now and my braking is more responsive as well..

It was very important to me to keep stockish ride and lighter weight.. These are very light for their size.

I didn't want to lower the car to give a nice lack of wheel gap but keep the stock ride.. Which is what pushed me to get the 22s. I am super happy I did!

I will follow up with weights soon!

Looks good....22's fill most of that unsightly gap that our cars have when not dropped on 20's.

Nice wheel choice. Like those a lot. I'm rolling 22's as well and it takes the right wheel to make it look good and not too big. I dropped just the front of mine with the Eibach pro kit just to give it a slight rake as the front sat just a tad higher than the back. The back had a nice flush look where the front had about an inch gap. I had no rubbing issues at all as well. I think it rides great. Again nice choice. Love the look of your ride.
