**Gathering Interest- ASANTI Wheels GB?**
Hey Guys, I have been going back and forth on potential GB offerings, and it looks like ASANTI is going to get the nod. They have a TON of wheel styles, and finishes, 3pc, Forged, and they offer a extra - cost exrpess build option (1k extra), wheels are turned around in about 2-3weeks.
Lowenhart / Maya / Maidos are not assembled in the states, so a bulk custom order for differnent cars, specs etc etc would not be time or cost efficient. I could only offer some specials on whats in stock and "hope" people want those styles. I would rather give full choice to potential customers.
I ordered a set of ASANTI wheels for a CLS55 on 5/9 and I am going to have them in stock this week. Although the 1k is a tough pill to swallow, without it you are still at the normal 6-10week wait. Pricing is not yet finalized, I would like to guage interest first. ASANTI's are pretty pricey normally (about 3975.00 20" chrome staggered wheels alone). If I can get enough interest I will knock as much off of that as possible, I'll also see if I can use the leverage of a 10-15set order to get the express build option cost lowered as well. I would really admonish the use of the express build feature, as it will allow you to be rolling for the summer! Brushed and painted finishes are availible as well (same price as chrome).
Let me know what you guys think and we can proceed. Here's a couple pics.

I am interested in a 19" staggered setup. Interested in price though.. I know it depends on the amount of people, but can you PM me an estimate with the GB? Thanks
edit: I might just go for a set of iforged as I see a style I like there that asanti doesn't offer.. still interested in the wheels & price though

So what are we thinking guys? I'm working on getting 20s chrome staggered down to about 3400 wheels alone maybe. I just need to know what the interest is.
