21 or 22 inch wheels?
What would you choose 21 or 22? It seems there are more winter and all season tires for the 21's .What do you guys think? I like the look of the 22s but can't see any snow tire options on Tirerack.

22s because I think they look better, tbh.
It does suck for winter, but you can always find a good set of wheel and tires for a good deal if you look around.

Get the 22's and find 21 takeoffs for your winter set? The 22's will be cheaper from the factory than trying to buy them as take offs.
I went with 21's this time, but the next one I spec, I'm going to get the 22's.

I can't see my wheels while I'm driving so I don't care much how they look, and I don't care what others think. 22" wheels will be a much stiffer ride, and increases the possibility of wheel damage if you hit a pothole. I think the tire options in 21" are few and $$$. I have 20" wheels on both my G and Lexus, and find the tire selection more to my preferences. But if Pirellis are your tire brand and looks are your priority, go with the bigger wheels.

I agree and the 20s and 21 allow the vehicle to be used for what it is intended for. As of right now on Tirerack there seems to be a lot more options on 21s

Well count me among the few forum neaderthals who lack any compulsive urge to pimp their ride just to be the envy of the cul-de-sac.

I prefer the new 21" for 2021 but wasn't a fan for the prior years. I feel that the 22" is more common and not a fan of the silver ring. However, the 22's are forged and I think have better tire options. Wish there was a better looking 20"
