Default Asanti or Lexani

I recently bought an 07 gs430, and have decided that I am replacing the stock rims. I want either Asanti or Lexani 3-pieces, but, am not sure about which company makes the better product. What do you guys think? also, if you know of any other high-end brands let me know.

Here's what I would suggest...call each manufacturer and ask them why you should buy their product.

i actually just bought a set of lexani's. i am pleased with them so far, but wish i had waited and picked up a set of vossen's for the same money....
my only issue to this point is a slight vibration when i let of off the accelerator and coast. hoping it;s just a balancing issue.

exactly. it doesnt matter who you pick, its all coming from the same place.

I hear they are hit or miss. some people get excellent wheels and others have nothing but problems.

...yeah, that's why i wanted to go with the vossens, but i had already ordered the lexani. i have no complaints at the moment other than the vibration. hopefully the alignment tomorrow works everything out.

best wheels to get is hre in my opinion but they are really pricey tho..whatever rim u decide to get make sure its forged rims..its make all the difference..

Vossen is a great choice! Only wheel company with a 5 year warranty.

Let me know if you have any questions.
