. im going to try to get ahold of some of these companies and see what they can do for me. thanks for the help.

How much do those 22 inch wheels weigh compared to light weight wheels seems like money better spent elsewhere.

that may be personal preference. it was alot of research to find the perfect light weight wheel in a larger size. the back wheels and tires actually weigh the exact same as the stock rear 20's(with tires). the front weigh just a bit more (3lbs per side). but i gained better handling with the lower profile. i also lost the wieght that was gained from the front (6lbs) tires and wheels, in the exhaust system,while gaining hp.
what i would like to eventually do, is like pete (pedders)did with his camaro. put a set of 19" wheels on, but these would only be used for track use of the car. and the 22" wheels will be my regualr every day use wheels.
