Black R-Dynamic SE on black 22's...
how do people feel about 22's in general? I have a placeholder order for what I guess will be a MY22 now. But I have it spec'd with 21's. I currently have 20's and they don't seem too harsh. I wanted to keep black rims and those are no longer offered on 20's (at least over here), so had to bump up. I certainly like the looks of 22's but hear they can be quite harsh and noisy and maybe not the best for snowy conditions. -

No issues with the 22's. The ride is slightly firmer than the 20's but still surprisingly pleasant and comfortable.
Had I not had the 20's on the courtesy car before our car arrived, I would have been happy with the way the 22's initially rode.
I also think they look better as they fill the wheel arches, as do the 21's. Can't say they are any noisier than the 20's, especially on the motorway.
(20's and 19's look out of proportion on such a big car, I personally think, but then again we all have different needs, so the smaller rims are preferred for off roading purposes).
Alot less roll and car corners alot flatter in the bends, on the 22's when pushed hard. Compare this to the boat like handling of the 20's, it's like night and day.
With regards to snow, this is the first year I have had a proper play in the snow and was really impressed with the handling. Running the original Pirelli Scorpion 285's mud and snow. Yes they will not be as good as proper chunky offroad tyres, but for a low profile tyre I was well pleased.
In comparison, I am running semi slick Potenza tyres, 245's on my car, on 18 inch rims, and they are a nightmare in the snow in comparison, even though the car is AWD.
Pity you can't post up videos on here as I was having a bit of fun in the snow last weekend, and you can see how well the car coped in the snow even with a fully loaded trailer on the back. Actually see the front wheels spinning a split second before the rear ones kick in when pulling away.

Another Black R-Dynamic D300 SE with Black 22's and the awful(IMO) 2-tone interior.
I sometimes get the feeling I'm the only person who doesn't like black/silver/grey cars with black interiors.
