Review & Pics of Mounted 22" Kahn Wheels
Well, despite the forecast for some light snow here on Sunday I mounted my Kahn 22"x 10" RS-C wheels in Hyper Silver with BFG KDW 2 285x35x22 Tires.

Stats: 22" x 10" Monobloc Wheel 45lbs
Appearance: Sweet! But I will let you be the judge. Some might not like the looks, some might be neutral, but I definitely LOVE them.
Ride: Slightly stiff on "Sport" and "Normal" settings. Needed to switch to "Comfort" setting. Riding on 18's I normally rode on "Sport" setting, so the ride does not feel different from this to 22's on "Comfort."
Vibration: None so far! Had the car driving on streets, highway, and dirt roads. About 500 miles so far.
Finish: Superb. Color of rims matches all external trim. Finish gloss seems to repel brake dust well and is very easy to clean.
Value: Fantastic Value at $3,399.00 withcenter caps and shipping for this style and set. GMP normally sells RS-C Monoblocs for $1,299 each plus tires. So $6,356 - $3,399 Saved $2,957. Cheapest Price for 20" Sport Technos with center caps is $4457 shipped & balanced.
Con's: Not OEM Diameter Tire (285/35-22 is 29.9" tall). OE Porsche Tire 275/40-20 is 28.7" diameter. 82lbs with BFG Tires vs. 65lbs for 20" Sport Technos with tires. Consequences? Increased wear and tear, possible vibration issues? We will have to wait and see.
Thanks for everyone's previous input and info.
