Want to buy a new set of 22" alloys. Will they effect the ride quality. Which are the best looking? Any web links?

I don't have any experience of 22" alloys on a D3 but i had 22" wheels on a TD6,my advice to you is fit a wheel of no greater diameter than 20".The 22" are too extreme for our roads,I buckled two rims by hitting "average" potholes that would not have caused the standard wheels any problems,a 285/35x22" tyre on a 10" rim offers no edge protection to the rim so when driving it is virtually impossible to drive the car in town driving situations without kerbing the rims,look on ebay and see how many Kahn rims have been kerbed,they then make the vehicle look crap,thats why I went back to a set of 20" alloys.
