These cars look great on 22’s. If I had to pick one of your options then it wd be the 2nd pic for me i think but wheels are vvvvv subjective (next to colour).

Picture 2 for me until I have seen 1 in real life.

I've gone for the 22 inch option as I have that now and it looks great.

Wheel 1 is very flat and modern hard almost robotic,

Wheel 2 is stylish and has contours that show off what's behind better,


It's probably an age thing, I grew up on dished and star spokes where the younger members will be in a modern phase like with buildings, today it's all angular and square where before it was all about being pretty and varied.

That's part of the issue...
the 22's are the 'old' R-Design Pro wheel, the 21's (U shaped) are old Momentum Pro wheels (I think).

The only new design is the 8 spoke (wheel 1) above and they're not nice

I mean, surely a T8 Ultimate (range topper) deserves something new/special? Rather than recycled designs?
