That is just dumb - hope whoever buys them curbs them and loses half of them!

Nasty looking, jewel-encrusted abominations...if they were given to me, I'd sell them and buy all my friends some real dope-lookin' wheels

At least you get a Bentley with purchase

These cost 1mm and there's no Bentley included:

I wonder if all the ballers / actors / rappers / singers will get together and ask ASANTI for a Group Buy on these wheels, 650k perset and a free Flying Spur! lol

Seriously though I think things like this really damage the brand equity of a product among true enthusiasts. ASANTI's are nice wheels and all, but imagine if HRE made diamond encursted, or wood faced, or ostrich skin wheels, no one would take them seriously!
