Anybody ever have an issue with aftermarket wheels getting out of balance frequently? I've had my new wheels on for only a couple months, and have already had them balanced twice. Getting a little frustrating. I'm not sure what the problem is. I hope somebody might have some recommendations. Thanks!

To be honest, for the reasonable price Chad at Unique charges, you are best to go with him and have them professionally done. His work is fantastic and you'll be more than happy with the results. I've seen alot of botched DIY jobs...just not worth it in my opinion.

I'll take some pics tonight. The last ones I took didn't have the tails tinted.

The ride of the 20s is fine. Still very soft. They are a fairly wide tire so the 50 series still provides alot of sidewall, plus the handling is improved over the 18s IMO. That being said, I upsized to 22s and still find the ride pretty decent. I was expecting much stiffer but it's not much different than my stock 20s.

To be honest, I can't even remember. It got confusing because I bought an HID kit, the headlight tint and the taillight tint. Chad will be able to tell you exactly how much the end cost will end up being. The only real variable will be the shipping costs. I spent a little more because I'm in Canada and had to pay some duty but if you are in the US, shipping is cheap. Well worth the money though...I love the way my Edge looks!

Chad, my stock tails are on the way back to you. The tint turned out perfect...they look amazing!!! Thanks again!

Thanks... Don't get quite the same FM reception with the stubby but since i only listen to the iPod or satellite radio, it's fine....and it looks much bettter. Best $10 mod you'll ever do

I always get compliments on my stubby Yup, got it exactly where you recommended Lex!

Just in case you wanted to see my setup. Unfortunately, the pic does not do the HIDs justice. They look MUCH better in person but my camera can't seem to pick up how they really look. I've included a couple daytime pics too

I did both my low beams and fogs with HID kits and i do not regret it one bit. Looks great and lights up the road very well. I have tinted headlights so ended up putting the 55W kit in the lows. Just used a 35W kit for the fogs. Did 6K for both and i love 'em!!!

That's great news...I'm gonna have to get one of these tools. If you guys have a link to the ones you have, it'd be greatly appreciated!

$20!! That's alot cheaper than I was thinking. Definitely going to have to look into picking one of those up. I paid the dealer $42.50 to do it...and that's only once. Going to have to pay that twice per year so the tool might be a wise investment. Thanks!

Ya, I would love to know how much the tool cost. Just put my new 22s on and had to have the dealer re-calibrate the new TPMS. Will have to pay every spring & fall when I swap my summer & winter tires to get this done....what a pain. I had originally thought the re-calibration could be done easily through a setting on the dash...unfortunately I was wrong.

Those look amazing!!! Chad, can you please do mine exactly the same. Thx

Chad, would you be able to post those beside a pic of the stock to see how dark they are tinted in comparison. Thanks!!

As far as I know, the TPS sensors that Tirerack and Discount Tire etc...use are actually OEM. I think I remember a tech at tirerack saying they don't seel aftermarket sensors, they are actually Ford sensors. From what I understand, you do have to reset you tpms in once you install new ones but I think it's a simple process. I will be able to let you know for sure shortly as I will be installing my new aftermarket wheels/tires next weekend and they have new tpms on them. Try calling Tirerack though...their techs are pretty knowledgeable and very helpful.

Well tell him if he can do the Elegantes for the same price, he's got a deal

Man, with that price go with the Sporzas...they are a close 2nd to the Asantis and $2K cheaper!!!! That is less than i paid for my 22s so not a bad deal at all. Again, my reco didn't factor in price but after seeing that, i'd definitely recommend going with the Sporzas!!!

Yup, stock up on the salt...my wife wasn't exactly happy when she realized i 'up-sized' from 20s!!! But the 22s just looked too good to pass up

I think you would be VERY happy with those Asantis...they are very nice!!! although not cheap I can't wait until it warms up here a little and we get rid of all this snow. Might actually put the new wheels on this weekend if the weather is good. When i do, i'll get some pics up.

Woohooo...getting closer to my turn!!

Ya, not a big fan of busy wheels. I'm also not a huge fan of 5-spoke wheels on the Edge. I like them on a car, but on a truck/suv/cuv...like the Edge, i prefer more spokes. I went with a 10-spoke design for the Edge and love the look!!!

They are probably my 2nd favorite of your choices. The Asantis are still the nicest in my opinion...but then again, that's not factoring in the cost of them

...and another

You're killing me...gonna have to start charging you Jk, i'll do it up tonight...probably look similar to the Asantis i would think.
