Asanti has more of the flashy high end rep in places like LA (even if its BS marketing) . Like a benz vs the lexus we all know which is known for being more exspensive, high end, ...more baller. The BENZ. The lexus is a higher quality product in terms of reliablity like the JDM wheels, but if you want the image and the status you spend the extra money and get the benz ( aka asanti's in this situation ). rays and volks go on cheaper cars like, g35's, evo's,wrx,s, 350z's, acura. You see rays and volks in super street, sport compact , and import tuner magazines, not modified luxury and exotic, celebrity car, Rides, or DUB. I just didnt want to put cheaper rims that I see on cheaper cars on my new lexus. Look it up man asanti is hardcore, rays and volks are more for sport compacts ( cheaper japanese cars mainly)
And that is the entire issue. Just because they are in those mags, does it mean it is good. If you haven't noticed, the same wheels are advertised all over those mags. If you haven't noticed, the articles for the most part are hot garbage. I do find MLE is one of the best high end mags, they shoot straight and for the most part know their stuff.

Rays and Volks ARE not for cheaper cars, as those wheels cost as much if not more than Asantis or some other newborn baby marketing brand.

Asanti's, hmmm look what people do..

Sorry to all. I was feeling a little defensive and tired of explaining myself. Sorry again. I guess we agree to disagree.

I feel that people who go online and post stuff up and then go talk about how something is "baller" is doing it to make them feel better then others. I post pictures and offer advice to help others... everyone loves to look at pictures right???

A thread about 2 defected wheels ended up into this convo about which is better?

This is how I see it.

Everyone has different taste, now to some it may be EWW, or it may be beautiful.

But all we can do is respect one anothers ideas. Cut it out dudes
