Make Them Bigger
These wheels and rims aren't for the tiny-minded or faint of heart. And none of them can be had in midget-looking 15 inch sizes.
Rolling On Down The Road
Rims and wheels are really the same thing, most of the time. In urban street rides, the preferred term is "rims" when you're describing a set of wheels on your ride. On very rare occasions, the way a wheel is made will warrant the technical name "rim," but that's almost never the case. What's for sure, though, is that you can be laughed at if you're calling your 20 inchers "wheels," rather than "dubs."
It's What You Put Into It
Back a few decades ago, steel was almost the only material used to make a wheel or rim. It was cheap, durable and didn't tend to rust. But it was a bit porky in the weight department. Still, it made for a good rim, overall.
Pretty Them Up
Today, with the almost total dominance of aluminum or other metal alloys as the materials of choice when it comes to making performance or tricked-out wheels, steel has been reserved to rental car fleets and the entry-level cars made to lure people into showrooms. Aluminum weighs less, so a car can be lighter. The wheels or rims themselves can really take on some serious color and style combinations, too.
Fastening a set of wheels to a car is easy. Most times, a simple set of four or five bolts is all that's needed. Some of the really large specialty wheels or rims out there may need upwards of 8 or more, but Asanti wheels and rims usually have around 5.
Looking Good's Never Been Easier
Asanti rims and wheels have made it easier than ever to immediately improve the look and appearance of even the most plain-looking car out there, including more than a few station wagons. Your car can look like it just came out of a West Coast design studio pretty quickly when a set of Asanti rims get bolted on. And their wheels all combine great performance with urban fashion bling, so the dubs you sport today will look nice for a long time.
