Im going to go with Tein comfort sports Ive heard nothing but good things about Tein, and as low as its going to sit I want to still maintain some sort of ride quality. Im going to throw a set of 20s on and see how I like it. Im tired of trying to get my 22s to sit flush dealing with spacers, and limited tires sizes. The Asantis were built with conservative offsets and the paint is just going to eventually peel again so Im over it!

Almost every high end car in Miami has Vossens on it... You know they are doing something right !! They also have some nice designs aswell... We are actually working something out now so we can sell Vossens in our Motrosports department at The Collection dealership...

im pretty sure its a complete setup. 4600 is way too much though. i was browsing their site and all their stuff is way over priced, espeically all their dakota digital ****.

4600 for air runner? that's way too much. you can get uas for quite a bit less and imho it's better anyway

the only thing i would like about ar over uas is that you dont have to peice together an air bag strut with a coilover strut, bag and brackets. Everything else though you can buy else where for 1/2 the price.

I honestly have heard consistently, that ALOT of asantis wheels are like a cast wheel in the center and forged barrels. They for some reason charge 3 piece full forged pricing b/c their name. I dont know, but its some serious bull to be doing that.

Vossen wheels are awesome. They have great style, they are available in forged as well, and the company stands behind their products. They have come out with some really nice concave designs recently. This company is on the ball. They are on all of the forums. I see them on all the hot cars in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley and I love the rolled lip design they use. I also have to say I dont remember ever hearing of a wheel company that stands behind their wheels to the point where they were willing to mail CL members a sample wheel for them to see the wheels themselves. Thats the kind of pride in ones product that I love to see.

I will be switching to a new set of Vossen wheels very soon. I am thinking about the new concave mesh design that they have been teasing us with, They look amazing. Seems like the concave look is making a come back

VOSSEN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS you guys should check out the new 2010 catalog. Its very well done. This company is unstoppable

I've never heard anything bad about Vossen. The quality is the best. I like the new deep concave wheel shown above. That's the best one if you want something distinctive but still clean.

Here is my voucher for VOSSEN.......Love them, which I would have bought these originally than the ACE ALLOY's. Only complaint needs to have a +20 option on the monoblock version for the front and +35 for the rear
