Monoblock replica question...

[farley556]

Does anyone know anything about the "monet" or the "ASA" replica wheels? Are they any good?

[manny]

Never heard of " Monet ".
ASA wheels are manufactured in Taiwan, under licence from BBS.
I have heard some good things about ASA's. ;)

[farley556]

I saw some on ebay that are made by "Monet", and I have never heard of these and didnt know anything about them.

[sleek_benzo]

my apology to bump this old thread... i too would also like to know about this brand.. seems like they're decent..

well.. in my search for axis milano.. i've found a two other brand that offer "similar" products...

Moven S5R

the only differences i've see is the finish which seems to be hypersilver.. which i think looks better.. and bolt hole.. it seems to have this little dip/curve in it.. which i fine i guess..

Monet Gothic

this wheels looks exactly like the milano except for the finish which is hypersilver.. another good thing.. plus no dip/curve..

both priced a little bit lower than axis.. tell me what you think???

[sleek_benzo]

anybody with an opinion???

IMO they look great. Who sells these?

[sleek_benzo]

i like them alot.. especially the monet gothic since they look exactly like the milano except that have a hypersilver finish instead of the dullish cheap finish...

i've only found a few online dealer that sells them.. and they aren't that expensive also..

you can find the moven just about anywhere but they just came out not so long ago.. but you'll find them in ebay.. cheap too..

i've already email some of the online dealer about the monet.. still waiting for them to get back to me..

You can get movens from The Wheel Supply at (909) 468-1311, and ask to speak with Sander and tell him youre part of CLUB202.COM

[sleek_benzo]

[JDoggery]

yea, i like the monet ones better than the moven. anyone want to buy my brabus VI reps

[sleek_benzo]

lol.. copy cater!!!

[ja2k]

Theres this little mexican rim place in market street in san diego called joes tire and he quoted me 1200 for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 moven rims. I wanted to get the brabus Vi replicas in black with chrome lip but no one has these on the forum everyone seems to have the moven replicas so I don't know about the quality of them. Thats why I haven't purchas them yet, but keep us posted sleek_benzo.

ja2k - 1200 quote is that for the Moven S5R?

NITROUSGARAGE quote on Monet Gothic:

(about) 1200 plus 50 shipping for wheels only..

i'm really considering these wheels now

[JDoggery]

hurry up and buy so we can "test fit" them on my ride, hehe.

[sleek_benzo]

(if i never show up on the forum again.. you'll know why!! lol!!!)



if you want we can purchase together maybe get a deal or something?? tire package is doable also.. nitrous gave me some pretty good quotes...

if anyone else is interested let me know..

[JDoggery]

Heres there website

http://elamigotires.com/gallery/view.nhtml?profile=gallery&UID=10012

Number is 619-696-8656

When you call them they will most likely quote you 1300 with tires and mounting but you just have to bs with them and then they will drop it to 1200

[sleek_benzo]

thanks... i'll look into it..

[sleek_benzo]

wonder why all the milano on ebay are in 20s only.. and when you email them.. they'll tell you that they don't carry 19s.. its because they're mostly Jaz Wheels... passing off as Axis Milano.. 19s are to be soon..

Jazwheels.com
http://www.jazwheels.com/images/wheels_trinity_lg.jpg

can anyone tell the difference? :D

hint: look close at the pattern.. :bunny:

[sleek_benzo]

i've emailed a few people who carrys the Jaz Trinity.. the 19" were schedule to release 6/21/05.. we'll see what happens.. the MSRP is cheaper than the milano and others to start with.. and seems like the quality is better too..

[sleek_benzo]

screw it.. i'm getting then rim now.. we'll see what happens... anyone got a few bucks to spare?? lol.... :D

its probably just cheaper for me to buy the black face than painting mine.
i probably will after a year or so if i dont get rid of it.

[crsh2]

Originally posted by KenzBenz

its actually $1250 wheels only.
it will look great on black car IMO although you've had black rims before, your probably tired of the looks.
Like is said the picture does not do justice you would have to see it right next to the car. its gorgeous

[sleek_benzo]

should be receiving my rims soon.. photos up when i get them.. crossin fingers for friday :D

[unHookt]

are you able to drop the benz center caps on the rims, is it universal?
