Default Asanti Monoblock 164 on GS3?

Has anyone put these on a GS3 before? I'd love to see how they look on a black GS. I have been reluctant to switch my wheels out, but these look pretty compelling. It's a shame they don't come in 19s.

have it photo chopped onto your car. I think they would flow good with your car being obsidian.

Interesting design. Not sure how they would look on 3GS.

Not Photoshop. It is a new for 2010 Asanti wheel. I downloaded the image from their website.

3GS does have the lines that would be complemented by this wheel. I think it would clash.

I am not feeling the style at all and I had a set of Asanti AF128s that were built out of round and gave me nothing but vibration and headaches. Asanti is not for me.

yeah I think you are right. plus these are too sharp and linear in their look. I liked them because they remind me of the Vauxhall Insignia wheels. But the Insignia wheels are more rounded in shape which is why they would blend well on a GS.

Are there any wheels I can buy which look like these:
