I had these on my Element and they were just collecting dust in my garage, so one day I decided to do a test fit and what do you know they fit (with spring spacers) but someday I would like to get some 18"s and lower it. What do you think?

When I saw "22's" I was expecting to click and see an Accord that looked like a Donk haha. I think it looks decent, but I am not a wheel guy (I still have stock steelies with ugly scratched up wheel covers.)
How is the ride?

They look really fantastic and really fill up the wheelwells which might mean that they're too big.
Do they rub at all?
Is the ride punishing?
What size tires are they?
Again, they look great.

The ride isn't that bad
they did rub at first but just the front and it only hit the plastic fender wells so I put spring spacers in the front and that helped
tire size 245/30/22
and I just got done taking them off so now I'm back with the stock 16"s because I'm going to do a dyno run again this weekend and see how much of a gain in hp compared to having the 22"s on it. The best pull with the 22"s was 143 hp and 128 tq here is the dyno sheet

shouldn't see any difference in the dyno pulls. The difference is in acceleration, braking and handling. Dyno is almost like a static test.

I think they look great! but i've been through terrible experiences with even 35 series tires, so i personally wouldn't throw any large rims on that require a tire size of less than 40 series.

I agree and I took the 22"s off and now I'm looking for a set of 18" mesh style wheels and I'm going to drop it.

IMO the fact that they fill up the wheel well makes it look bad ass. That pic from the back looks completely insane, the lines of the car then the big chrome is hot, n im not even a chrome guy! The front didnt take me back like the rear did, maybe its the bumber or the grill. Either way, not bad for a quick swap! You still going with the smaller size and lower it?
