My 2 cents:
The Beyern's look very good. Nice classic mesh design.
If I'm not mistaken they are cast wheels. Personally in cars of this level and power I'd run forged wheels (now there's forging and there's forging but another time).
Can you run okay and get away with it, the answer is yes. In a car of this quality I wouldn't run $250 wheels. Just me I guess.
Running 22" wheels is counter-productive. You'll never be able to match or come close to approximate the stock rolling diameter. One should always try because the car was designed based on those dimensions.
22" also hurt performance and handling. With that stretched rubberband of a sidewall you get with 22's you are going to feel it and watch the road because potholes will have you getting a new barrel after you bend them.
22" are pretty and bling but we all have different tastes.
I am not pushing any wheel but buy a good forged product.
Good luck
Ranger
