Default Help with choice of wheels (again) Asanti or iForged

What's up guys, well i'm getting tired of the wheels that i have on my car already (giovanna casinos 20x9). And i might have a possible buyer for them so i can purchase some other wheels. Well i was thinking about asanti wheels or iForged wheels, they both have the similar type of wheels that i like. Well for asanti i was looking at the AF122 or the AF112 and for iforged, the AERO and the RETRO. For wich ever one i pick, i will be running 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in back. What do you guys think!?! what brand which wheel!?!

Thanks guys!

Without pics, I would go with Iforged because every rim they make is clean and classy. Post up some pics and more people will be able to help you decide.

WOW Asantis are knockoffs!?! Those are some expensive knockoffs ($5000) you sure about that!?! Cause they look much alike, sorry i'm not able to post pics since my firewall @ work wont let me. Maybe i'll post them when i get home.

The asanti's cost alot because there are diamonds on the blinging rims.

The Asanti's are not knockoffs, they are a diviision of Lexani Wheels (which has a well deserved hideous reputation), so it makes it tough for them to stand as quality wheels. The Asantis have a quicker turnaround time, but do not offer the range of finish, offset, disk type, etc options like iFORGED.

Alot of the wheels that are marketed towards the American Luxury market are stocked like single piece wheels (playa's hate to wait!!) LOL

The Asanti's cost more, D2-AUTOSPORT carries both brands, so its your pick! LOL

IForged. Of course, I might be slightly biased

I know what you're talking about(gator designs and stones) i don't like those at all, but these are not like that, these actually look like iforged but a little differ. Not sure who's trying to copy who or even trying to do that!?! But they look nice. Try checking them out. They both look like they have huge lips! DADDY LIKE!
