they won't fit under your arches without major body modification, and they would knock your speedo way out

Do they make the car go faster?
Are they lighter than the standard offerings?
Is your car a Bentley?

No? Then why bother?

There seem to be a Bentley rimm'd something (TT, GTI, S3 etc) at just about every show these days!

Not for me, especially with the Bentley logo still in the centre cap  :sick:

....Anything with a Bentley logo on any car other than a Bentley is pretentious cr@p!!

Why not fit a Rolls-Royce radiator front while you're at it.

And 22-inchers on a Mk5 look ridiculous.

That 'Bentleyfied' black and white Mk5 you see at shows makes me wanna puke :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Reading between the lines, you might guess that I don't like it :grin: - Just my honest opinion :afro:

I agree with Red, looks awful, why bother, also if you were going to fit 22's, there are hundreds of much nicer looking ones.  they dont even look like alloys IMO!

So you want to ruin a car you've not yet bought?

Seriously, I dread to think what the acceleration and handling will be like with wheels that big?

22 is way too big! The mk5 can take 20 alright, but it's a bit tight.
