Default New Wheel Line: Asanti 3pc Forged Wheels

Hey Guys, over the next few weeks, the site is going to be updated with a wealth of new wheels, new fitments and vehicle images. We also picked up a few new wheel lines (including BBS, PIAA, Techart and more!).

Here is another one of the new lines called Asanti. The wheels are 3pc forged and are availible in chrome, silver, graphite, black, red, blue, white and yellow (no I'm not kidding they really do have all of those finishes) . Chrome lips are also standard across the board on all finishes.

Sizes range from 18-26" (depends on style, some start at 20") They are the standard forging so figure a 3-3..5 " rear lip on typical Lexus applications (4-4.5" on SC430 ). BMW 745 is 5" rear lip on a 22x11.

Average ship time (if in stock) is about 1-2 weeks, if not build time is about 2-3 weeks for standard fitments. For those that want a Multi-piece, forged wheel, with a nice lip in less time, this is it. For those that want to build wheels from scratch to a desired offset, and other esoteric specs, iFORGED / WORK/ DPE is the way to go, and thus their longer waits.

Price is about 975.00-1,000 per wheel 3PC 20" chrome.

There are a ton of styles, but I just choose a few of the cleanest to appeal to Lexus car (and SUV) owners. I think some of the styles look pretty darn nice.

Take a look:

AF 112
18-24"


AF 118
20-26"


AF 118 GRAPHITE
20-26"


AF 120
19-24"


AF 116
20-24"


AF 122
19-22"


AF 123
19-26"


AF 128
19-26"



AF 121
19-24"

If you add in the 3pc, plus the standard chrome lip, the prices are line with the other forged 3pc offerings. The iFORGED and DPE pricing starts lower because they have 2pc with standard finishes. For instance, if you were to get a iFORGED Daytona, in chrome, with chrome lips 20" staggered, you would end up in the same basic neighborhood.

Gotta hand it to Asanti...whether you think they're ''bling bling'' or not, they're not taking the safe way like iForged (new models, old designs). They are producing some original designs

I hear what your saying, I guess now its just time to see if the intended market for the wheels gravitates to those newer designs!

On another note, is it me? Or is Superbuytires.com charging $200.00 more than D2AUTOSPORT.com per wheel for the 20" applications?
