help me choose new wheels

[Cardiff]

Been offered a bargain deal on a set of asanti wheels in 19" for my maserati.

IF you click this link and choose the 19" section, i can have most wheels on there

this my current car/wheels

[blueyes]

I had a look.

None of them suit the car.

Too bling/pimp/drug dealer.

Just my 2p's worth.

AF118 Black for me

Ditto!

But first,

Are they forged?

Are they lighter than stock?

Are you going to be able to get the "best" tyres for it?

Have you looked at what changes they will bring about in the car's handling?

Cheers,

they are 2 piece forged so much lighter than standard. will be custom made so perfect fit, prefect tyres widths etc.

Am not a fan of black wheels on silver cars so probably going to be the 122's

Af144 Chrome but then that would be my choice. I prefer a five spoke wheel. Prefer those on the under mentioned link though.

the problem is no one makes a wheel to fit the maserati ass the fofset is silly high, the asanti rims have been offered at a discount and normally wheels alone are about £4000! they are custom made, every set, so will be made for my car and they are one of the best quality rims in the world!

Anyway ordered a set now but will be about 8 weeks til they arrive in the uk

Id rather spend the money on the best rubber you can get. Wheels shmeels imo

Not a big fan of aftermarket rims!! Usually haven't been tested as stock/factory rims and are often (but not always) poor quality compared to OEM wheels!! Jusy my two penneth but I would stick with what you've got!!

[LuS1fer]

I've looked at those and like your stock rims.

Mind you, you have to respect a wheel manufacturer who puts wood, jewellery and tattoos on wheels.

No.....wait......

Maybe they'd look better on the car but that site smells of Hollywood rapper.

Don't do it, for the love of god please don't do it..

[taffyracer]

Call me mad, but I prefer the OEM ones!

[Cardiff]

unfortunately too late guys. The stock wheels are a bit boring for me and weigh too much

Have you tried tecnomagnesio the italian wheel maker? Also leo nardo used to do them for the 3200.

Just say no to bling.

Now that's a stunning looking wheel!

Though i'm sure whatever wheels you've ordered Ben will look fantastic too!

Leo Nardo can be ordered through Cortese in Bath and are a good choice as they are made for Maserati. Still think you should look at the below Cardiff...look forward to seeing what you have purchased on your 3200 though.

[Cardiff]

oh well, company i ordered the wheels from just called me and the rims are out of stock for 6 months so i have had a refund and just going to get my standard wheels re painted! :-(

[sorrento205]

Think its for the best! What about something more sporty rather than bling like these...
