I am looking at getting the Dub Dirty dogs 22" for my car, what do you think about them, would they look ok on the car.
Tires Pirelli Scorpion 265/35/22

Look good for 22s

The rim itself is a good looking rim. I personally wouldn't put 22's on my CX-7, but I do like the rim.

 

[astraelraen]

22 is toooooo big

The rims look nice though.

 

[AlbanianDude]

My plan is to do a drop to balance things out eventually

 

[dominoy2k1]

they are nice.

 

[astraelraen]

I think 22's wouldn't look bad if you dropped it. But 22's and a 1-1.5" drop would ride pretty rough. The CX7 suspension is stiff enough as it is.

20's and stock suspension are a pretty good compromise. I keep considering whether or not to buy any lowering springs. That corksport deal looked tempting, but I won't do anything until the summer anyway.

I am not to concerned as i got the 300SRT8 as well so it wont be driven as much.

Well - since you're specifically soliciting "opinions"...

I vote for smaller wheels, larger tires. That's *MY* opinion.

 

[wongster]

so if you do get those rims are you going to sell your old rims that you currently have?

 

[Killer]

you wouldn't like what I have to say so I will just keep it to myself. (lol2)

IMO, trucks go up, cars go down. Not sure where to draw the line for an suv like this, but I think lowering an SUV seems counterproductive to me.

As for the rims, they look OK, but again, putting rubber band tires over those things kinda defeats the purpose of having an SUV, am i right? My vote goes for beefy tires on your current wheels and leave the ride height alone

Chicago auto show had a CX-7 on 22's, I think it looked great. Like the rim style too.

 

[astraelraen]

That CX7 is lowered as well.

Those rims are pretty good looking. I believe the centercap says TSW, judging from their website those are the Montage. Which look a lot better on a car than on their website.

Look at the spider webs in the paint on that things hood! Someone's been to too many automatic car washes.

I wont be selling the old ones as i will leave the winter tires on them, but after doing some car shopping today for another unit looks like i might make a switch to Infiniti FX35 they ride smooth as hell, 2007 with 13 000 miles i can get my hands on it for 37 500, and the CX7 will be for the wife.

Nokian WR SUV all-weather tires are the best tire on the market, no comparison for 4 season traction.

 

[Killer]

good call on the scorpions best suv plus size tire on the market
440 treadwear and great quiet ride, great in wet weather as well

Funny, that isn't what most all the reviews say. They wear out too fast and are noisy. And if I remember right I have warned you several times about you spamming this site with your Pirelli biased crapola.

Last chance...dont spam any more.

Pirelle's cuddle up next to my car and keep it warm. They also bath it and help it to run on rainbows and happiness.

Don't knock pirelli.

This is all a joke.

Nothing wrong with Pirelli tires, we are just tired of this guy spamming the forum with his opinion. He never seems to be able to back anything up with facts and his only purpose on this forum seems to be to promote Pirelli tires.

Exactly.
