Comments Welcome



I recently (sept 07) purchase a silver TL Type S 5AT and I love it. I am looking to get some new rims and tires. Tires will be 245/35/19 and the rims will be Sabina 19x 8.5

This is my first post... I will post a photo of my car as soon as I can....it's stock with the exception of the badges being removed.

Has anyone seen this wheel on a TL? Also, what do you think.

If you like them get them. Your opinion matters most. To me they look like they would be more suited for an Escalade.

I appreciate everyones opinion on the wheels... I too now think they are not good for an ASM TL Type-S.

I found these, please let me know what you think.



They will be sitting on 245/35/19 Falkin FK452's. $1600 out the door.


Your comments are welcomed as usual.... and thanks for your help. This is a tough decision.

I have to agree that choosing rims is hard!

Also, the Sterns look alot better than the Sabina's IMO

The price was good.... Now my other debate is to whether or not get after market springs installed.

They quoted me Tein springs for $190 a piece + installation. Should I do this mod as well? It would lower the ride about 1 inch or so

Get these. There's always got to be the guy who go's to the extreme, even if it sacrafices looks, function, and taste

[IMG][/IMG]

Asanti, the luxury wheel and rim designers are known for their opulent wheel designs, but recently they have taken the meaning of extravagance one stage further with their $1 million dollar diamond encrusted wheels.

The $1 million rims,
not for the off-road enthusiast

The wheels, part of their Stones Series, are made up of 12,000 diamonds and 800 sapphires, which total 1,100 carats of precious stones.

For those on a more modest budget, Asanti can customize wheels with anything from a single stone to 65,000 carats of princess cut cubic zirconium.

The stones are available in a choice of colors, including fire red, emerald green, canary yellow and clear. The face of the wheel can then be co-coordinated with the customer's vehicle or finished in a variety of finishes, including chrome or 24k gold.

If you prefer to wear your jewelry on your body and not on your car, Asanti have six other wheel designs, including the Skin Series in which real or synthetic ostrich and alligator leathers are adhered to the face of the wheel, or the Signature Series, in which personal designs can be inscribed on the onto the face of the wheel.

Those wheels looks like something that you would see on a truck not a car.

:WHAT: so that mean's those wheel's are costing about $1200 NO WAY MY MAN.... go to streetdreams.org.... they ship for free then get yourself over to tirerack.com see what tires are good, then head over to discounttire.com and buy the tires there for cheaper with freeshipping

thats what I did walked away with a package worth 2k+ for just under 1900

The wheels where $236 each, plus tires. So for tires, wheels, locks, mounting, balancing and installed it's $1600.... I think that is a pretty good deal.

Again, Keep the comments coming they are welcome. I'll post pictures on Friday.
