I completely disagree.......2 or 3 piece wheels have nothing...absolutely nothing to do with being on a race car, or regular passenger car. It has everything to do with being able to build multiple widths, offsets, back pads, disc types, etc.
Just because a wheel is expensive does not guarantee quality or customer satisfaction. You had a bad experience with Asanti and that suks…..but don’t lump all manufacturers together. The drawback with one piece look-alike wheels is the limitation on custom width, offsets, back pads, and disc types. It’s like buying and off-the-rack suit vs. a custom made one.

Pretty much so... for the money i spent for my Vossens, they looked good & made the car look good, & they are of good quality as well.... but for my new set of wheels i spent like $4300ish from Japan but im not upset @ all... I love the result... 
The set of Vossens i am selling i still like alot, & would keep if they fit on my Range.... Maybe ill modify them a little.... lmao...
j/k

j/k2k for 4 wheels, given the kind of quality that vossen has and the kind of service they provide, i think it's a great deal. there are wheels that are far more expensive than 2k for a set (5-6k easy). there are also wheels that are cheaper (like 300 bucks each) but from my experience, they aren't anything close to vossen in terms of quality, and i can't comment on the service
All I'm saying is that you get what you pay for. If your budget is $2k and you want a multi-piece look, Vossen is a good choice...not the only choice, but a good choice. If you want a multi-piece, you're going to have to save up a little more. Style....looks....are all subjective....don't even want to address the knock-off conversation.

BTW- we are the only wheel company to offer a 5 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime structural warranty. And we really stand behind our warranty.. you can ask any Vossen owner that has ever had a issue.

Now to my question i have a 2006 GS and i want to go 22 because i don't want to lower it at all because of my warranty. I had a old 98 gs before and had 20s on in but now on the new gs i want to go 22. I want to know if i do the job right will it look good and will it rub? What do i have to do to make it not rub? What size tires do i need please help im looking to buy rims and need to know.....

I ve had 2 sets of 22s on it the 2nd set I was lowered on tein h tech springs which is very modest with this set up ( which is for sale) I had to do wheel well liner and fender shaving to make it work. The wheels without lowering will fit without fender mods only liner mods. I am currently on 20s and coilovers pretty much as low as I can go and not tear my fenders up turning while driving. If you like bigger wheels go for it I will say that my set up now is healtier for my car as far as the mechanics go!

and you are right, for the performance, price, etc... stoptech is unbeatable. had them on my sc430 and those brake are stupidly good, crazy stopping. not even the ap racing on my gs400 or brembo on my ls460l could compare

Anyone running 20x10 up front and 20x11 in the rear? I was thinking 20x10 +36 on a 245/35 and 20x11 +32 on a 245/35. I have an awd so that's why the tire size r the same. Pretty sure i going to need a fender roll, maybe even a pull with a lil camber.
