22" Rt-s

Ambrosia · 04-30-07, 06:54

Threw on some black 22" American Racing RT-S this afternoon. Pictures are pretty bad, I'll have better ones when it gets nicer. Future plans are tinted tails and windows. I'd like to say it has came long way. I know this isn't the way the majority of yourlike your Jeeps, but just bare with me

. I'm buying offroad tires for the stock rims during the winter months.

You better remove the "Trail Rated" emblem now. Sorry, IMO 22s don't look good on anything. But hey, it's your ride, and I do like the Black rims on your Black ride.

Too big for your wife's ride. Rims? On a Liberty?? What's the point? It also looks urban and latin American, if you know what I mean.

I know *exactly* what it is you mean. At least I know where you stand.

I think it looks great. The tinted tails will add to the "stealth" look. Only suggestion would be to upgrade to larger brakes. Post some sun/dry pics when you get a chance!

As far as the "urban and latin American" comment goes....I'm Asian and white, but drive a 02 Escalade with 24" rims, does that make me Urban or Latin American?

What the point of modifying any exterior, to make it look different than the average. I wanted to stand out from the average soccer mom mobile. Do you have a stick up your *** lately? I've read some of your other posts on wagons, I believe. Just because you have an older mustang, doesn't mean you have to be confined to everything inside your the cookie cutter niche.

Urban and Latin America is tacky chrome peices out of a Stylin' Concepts magazine everywhere. Black rims do not qualify, sorry

Nothing says Urban like chrome and wheel gap IMO:

Your car would definetly stand out in a crowd of Jeeps! I hope those wheels are locked on too! I just thing Liberty's look weird without a tire on the back

Frito Bandito · 05-01-07, 08:06

I wouldn't do it but I think it looks great. Would look especially sweet with a little drop but if you are buying off-road tires for winter I doubt you would want to do that.

So why is everyone ripping on him? While it's too high off the ground for my taste the black goes well.

Yeah that would of looked horrible. IMHO if you can lower the car a little bit so that there's more wheel in the wheel well that would look really, really good.

But seriously, why rip on him? He probably just dropped a nice chunk of change on those, and to be honest, it doesn't give me that pissed off "that's really ugly" feeling inside that I get when I see an Escalade or Hummer with the same size or bigger wheels. As a matter of fact this is one of the best looking vehicles I've ever seen that has 22" wheels.

If you do get the tail lights tinted make sure to get much higher output bulbs to compensate.

Nice stuff though!

Lookin good! Don't worry bout all the people rippin on you there are always going to be people who disagree with what you like.

truzoom · 05-01-07, 08:17

I think it looks good. Is that a 2WD and can you afford to drop it maybe 1-2" all around?

Politely said. I may have to barrow this one...
