That is some serious lip in the photochopped picture..dont think you can realistically do that in the front though...

Yeah i know there is no way i could run that kind of lip in the front. the only picture i had of the wheel was the rear so i just chopped it up really quick just to get an idea. Realistically it wouldnt be that low or the wheels be that big but it would look nice

Jiff, for 4500-5000 you could do some nice JDM wheels man, PM GS4will and get some pricing and ideas. For some reason I think Assanti is a subdivision of Lexani, and if they are anything like GFG (a subdivision of Giovanna) then they will be HIDEOUSLY expensive!! (think close to HRE money)

i thought GFG is even more expensive than HRE?

Rom, I'm on dialup right now so i cant go look around for prices (damn hotel phone line) but I know I checked last week, and superbuy had them for something CRAZY like 1500-1700 per wheel for 20" chrome!!

Jiffy if you go for a huge front lip like that with that open of a wheel design, your brake rotors are going to look CD sized (tiny). And if you get high offset low disc to get the huge front lip, you won't be able to put bigger brakes on. Just something to consider.

i think we saw a pic of a ashanti wheel in that manaray sema thread, the wheel is actually really nice but how do we know of the quality? who do they get the wheel from and than rebagde it? just wondorig.

bluelex

here s pic of the wheel on that thread.. the member who was there said it was a chrome lexani 3pc. forged wheel..looks pretty good imo...but if the price is near hre why would u get this wheel? and the center says lexani not that blue logo like on the ashanti's ..just wondoring if its a prototype 4 thier ashanti line mayb..

IMO, those companies like Lexani make rims where function follows form, point being the most important element is the look!!! They are all about designs, swirls, etc so when it comes time to make a wheel that is manufactured to a higher standard, they dont have the means!! Thus the outsourced wheels. Seems like Giovanna has the same issue, and by the time they started makind a decent wheel (GFG) they are hideously expensive!! I think its the tooling costs associated with developing a REAL line of wheels after you have been making the lowest common denominator stuff!!

BTW that Asanti wheel looks nice!

Exactly, and who would buy GFG when its the same or more than HRE?
