WTF is wrong with Asanti

[MEPEH]

This is driving me crazy already. I'm looking for a set of rims for my CL500 and i know "whatever flips your cookie" applies when it comes to rims.
But WTF is this stupid high price for Asanti rims ?
They Never looked good or any car i've seen before. Those rims go for at least 3500 Used + tires.

Who pays that much for those wheels ? Can someone prove me I'm wrong ?
And i want to see real people that actually bought these ... Am I from a different planet ?
There are so many other options that look a lot better and cost a lot less than Asanti ? Is this another "Well Asanti is the one who invented dog bras, that's why it's so popular"

I see 22in Chrome Asanti Rims + the stupid 8000$ Chrome grill on a W221 Mercedes S-class, unless you go to show off at SEMA, why did you buy this shit ?

Sorry, just ranting. We need a new thread for "Rants and Facepalms"

P.S you also see E65 BMW that are worth 10k without an oil change in it's entire life for sale at 27k, with the message "Well, the rims alone are 12k".

Ugly ass wheels.

any wheel that advertises like they do are no wheels of mine

[AndyMpire]

dafuhq! no thanks. you keep em.

[Huffy]

Yeahhhhhhhh!! Love these rims!!!... oh wait no i dont!

[DriftGirl]

Pay to play...u dont like them, move on. There are PLENTY of JDM and Euro rims that arent worth what they charge. Asanti is no different from any other wheel company.

They make a ton of wheels for every genre of car. One thing I will say is that they have excellent customer support even if you have used rims. Cant be said for MANY of our favorite brands

buy cheaper wheels if u cant afford them...no shame in that.

Without a doubt, this is the ugliest wheel that I have ever seen in my life.

I WANT THOSE

I prefer the bejeweled wheels myself...

This one booth at sema had an engine completely covered in swarovski crystals and one completely gold plated engine. Both pretty ugly, nice ass in the background though.
The dub booth had some 30" wheels that were color matched to Nike shoes.

Because people will pay it, it's pretty simple.

Sadly, wheels like that, Asanti, lexani, dwarf companies like rotiform in sales.

[AllGo'N'Show]

Yup they do, and the people that buy them really like them so it is all in personal tastes. I have seen some real classy looking wheels come from them, but they got to be ordered like that so blame the order taker

And unfortunately their service is going down hill it seems... can't comment too much at this time but it wasn't what it used to be

Athletes love their crazy shit, crazy colors, crazy looks, price doesn't matter, as long as it is one-off and eye catching they will buy it!
