fyi mr. mark gave me some good word of advice if your car is awd. theres no tire for the 22 which will keep it close to stock (which i knew before hand) however even though they may be close to the same size, it will still throw off the awd system. i confirmed this with my tech and said theres a chance it can wear out the center trans case. he looked into the option of changing the stock overall diameter with a scantool but its not possible. just a heads up.

a donk is a vehicle that is jacked up to fit oversized wheels. like i said the wheels fit the car better then 20s all those that have 20s lower the car anyway and stiffen the ride like i said should of bought sports car instead of trying to make a luxury sedan a fast and furious knock off! i really could care less if my speedometer is off 4% and if the tranny falls out ill buy a new one!

lkapimp216, dont take it so personal about peoples opinions..people got different taste..i have asanti as well but many members here didnt like the fact that i had white car with white wheels on...for me its about big wheels, asanti bling factor but many members here like to keep it more performance and low profile..if u had 1 piece work wheels people probably went crazy about ur car..personally, i had 22s first but its was too much rubbin(without the drop) so i went with 20s with really aggresive setup with little drop...

I agree with lims407. You're taking everything way too personal. It's all about what you like because that's all that matters. No one is trash talking you or your car. Everyone is merely giving their opinions; no more, no less. You need to be prepared for criticism, both good and bad, if you post photos of your car.

We are a community here where everyone, for the most part, gets along. It's not about trash talking. It's about helping each other. Providing a resource for facts and provide feedback, both good and bad.

Just my $.02.

Cheers!

lkapimp216 If you post pics on the internet expect to hear positive and negative comments and they will stand once they are not rude or break rules here. Clearly YOU like your wheels and are excited and thats what matters. Don't expect everyone to share the same enthusiasm and share the same taste.

Personally its not for me and to be honest does anyone have Asanti's with the right fitment? Its like shops sell the wheels based on the name "Asanti" to unsuspecting people who think its a top flight brand and then fitment is horrid.

lkapimp216, like a few others including 1sicklex have mentioned, respect others if you want others to respect you. you post pictures of your car and you are subject to both positive and negative comments. if you don't know how to take them constructively, then i suggest not post them up. we do not allow personal attacks here. a few of your posts are removed for that reason. we welcome everyone on the forum, but sense of community is very important here

I have seen two GS 350's with 22's and they dont look bad but they do look a bit high.
