Craiger Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ok, we'll leave it at that. Let me know if there are any others you'd like to see but I must say those Asantis in chrome are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing them on the Edge would be enough for me to just get those...if i could afford them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiger Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I personally think the Asantis are much nicer than the Swiss. You are right about the lines though. You can never tell that looking at a wheel on its own. Always mock it up first. As i said, that's how i decided on my 22s...they were not my first choice until i did the mock up. They will be here Wednesday and hopefully on by the end of the month...then I will get some pics up. Similar style to next year's Sport model.

PrinzII Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I did see a similar wheel by MHT but I was concerned with the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hey Craiger, can you black the grille out for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiger Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hey Craiger, can you black the grille out for me? So the mock with the Asantis but with a blacked out grille? I'll try and get that done tonight for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiger Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 My opinion...if you go with chrome wheels, keep the chrome grille. They work well together. If you go with the black wheels, then black out that grille...will look very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am going with black/chrome wheels. I am having a hard time finding someone to black out the grille w/o painting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiger Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The Sporza doesn't look half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiger Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The Feslers don't look bad, either. I have already seen an Edge with the Sporza DDT and thought that rim was a bit on the busy side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiger Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 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!!!

I don't like busy wheels at all, regardless of vehicle. I have seen some 5 spoke rims on an Edge and agree they didn't look right because of thinner spokes. The Fesler gave a meaner look and has thicker spokes which might be workable. But, from the looks of things, the Asantis have won out because the design of the AF128 fits quite well.

Craiger Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, I think I will need to keep some smelling salts handy for the wife. When she sees how much these things are going to cost, she's going to faint.

Craiger Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
