I like them on the right application, like the Crown that was posted in the "Gangster Wedding" thread.

hate em..too hollywood to me.  Too much bling.  Too much attention.  i think it will be just a fad just like those spiners.

Thumbs down, I hate the whole Bling thing. That is too much for my taste.

Garson makes some nice wheels. The first wheel pictured which are the Zuenglein DR301 are sick. With the right car, it would look good. Though don't overdue the too much jewels on the car. Just my 2 cents.

no like

They are ok on the right application!! I prefere the  lighter approach ( Garson Jewel wheel nuts!! Next for mine!! )

too ghetto lookin

BLING BLING

that first picture of the Garson rims in post #1 is sick.  ever since I saw it on that Crown in another thread I fell in love with it.
 
And I too think that it really depends on the application.

maybe to people in japan its a newer, unique idea. they can incorporate it into their VIPstyle and its works well. But here in the US, wheels w/ jewels on them have been around for yearrrrrrrrs and have been played out and used on ghetto ass cars and DUB style. 

so to answer the question...i detest them. what may be cool somewhere else, may not always work here.


also its very DUB. DUB's products are sold in wal-mart. the exact opposite of "ballin"

ching ching! not bling bling, but a horrible looking version of 'baller'. i'd rather have those 'video rims' lol

Not the move..

best jeweled rims ever

mmmmaaaaaaaybe for a show car, but even thats pushin' it

Hmmmm dont know about it.. I guess if it not done with over kill and used on the wheel to just accent it in a very suttle way its cool. 

I would just hate to see some kids tring to dig the crystals out

Only $250,000 from Asanti!  Hahaha..ugh...

One up:
[img]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1636/asantidiamondrims545b2dri3.jpg[/img]

Only $1,000,000 a set. 
12,000 diamonds and 800 sapphires, which total 1,100 carats of precious stones.

I think somebody will roll them.

Any pics or links to cars actually rolling jeweled wheels other than the famous SLK? I think most people here can tell the difference between these and DUB style. I like the first one, not really the 2nd...1st is more like an accent vs the primary look.

For the peeps who do likem like the 1st pic, is the added price justified?

something like this is cool.. but using bug chunks of rocks is over kill.. or platering the whool spoke of the wheel with rocks is just to much

Yet again..haha..but this one is hard to beat:
[IMG]http://www.rimtyres.com/imagenes/llantas%20asanti/afs-103.jpg[/IMG]

AFS 103 has 26,000 diamonds and 1200 rubies...price: fogetaboudit.

auto couture has jeweled wheels now, some of them look great... others, not so much

Id like to be driving behind somebody that has those million dollar wheels so when they hit a nice pothole I can pick up a diamond or two

HATE.....THEM

anyone know where i can find a set of these?

if i had an ls460 or 430, black with ALL the rest of the garson crystal collection, then yes, these would be the icing on the cake. on hummers and 300C's, they suck.

My kneejerk reaction;
No thanks. I am not a fan of bedazzled wheels.  If you must flaunt like that, then make a diamond encrusted helmet and wear it walking down the sidewalk.  You'll be the most ballin' special kid I see in my life.  Sorry. 

My rational reaction;
I kind of sort of dig the Lowenhart wheel posted above.  I just have a hard time imagining a car that it wouldn't look like overkill on.

next up... ls's and qs lifted on 24"s

too ghettofabulous

check with the guys at dazz

exactly ... dont like them at all, really bad taste !

Are the Garson ones worth the asking price? 

(DUB jeweled wheels might belong on another topic or forums site)
