Default Finally got the rims installed.....

The TPMS sensors I ordered were taking forever! I went to the dealer and spoke with the service manager, who's a good buddy of mine. He had the neighboring chevy dealership deliver a set of sensors for me, which took about 15 minutes. What was even better is that he told me after I had the wheels mounted and balanced at the wheel shop, he would reset the tire pressuse sensors for me (free). Took about 2 minutes to get them reset and of course I gave him a tip.

After a long wait, here are the rims mounted on the car:

Interesting choice Mike. Def compliments your black monte with black rims. I like the theme between both cars.

The wheels are Asanti AF115, They are 22x8.5 with 245/30/22 tires. The wheels are 3 piece forged etc. Normal 22's would cost me about $2800, so I just saved up a little extra for really good rims. I plan on lowering it soon, but I had to have the wheels mounted up first to make sure it could be lowered.

Good luck keeping those clean from the break dust. IMHO, I woulve gotten crome or black rims.

Sorry, but I too am not a fan of those rims.

They won't get too dirty. I don't drive the car every day. It just hit 1000 miles yesterday and I bought it new in April 07. My 2000 SS is my daily driver

I think they look great. While I'm not a fan of much over 20", I think these look really, really nice. Good job!

Hmm, I don't really like rims that big, but they do look pretty good. Nice work. And damn alot of low miles here. I got mine at the end of April '07 and I've got 11,1xx on mine.

Thanks a lot guys!

We've got to keep these 06/07 Montes with low mileage. Who knows the next time GM will release another Monte....

Something about body color and a silver rim for a wheel strikes a good note with me.

With wheels like that you'll have no choice but to keep the miles low!

Those rims are sweet, rick ross style.
