One of the most common and one of the easiest ways to change the look of a vehicle is to change the rims. It may not seem like a huge customization, but with a top wheel design, as you will find with Asanti rims, it just takes the vehicle to a completely different level of style.
When it comes to aftermarket rims, there are literally hundreds of choices, particularly if you are driving a luxury sedan or a mid-range domestic or import vehicle. Adding Asanti rims to these cars will be a definite upgrade from the OEM rims even if you are buying a new vehicle right off the dealership lot.
If you are considering an upgrade to Asanti rims it is important to take your time and make an investment in the rims you want to ride on for years to come. These rims are built to last, and they are an investment in both the performance as well as the look of your vehicle.
Single or Multi-Piece Rims
Lower cost rims are typically made through a gravity casting process, and they are a single piece rim. This means that the entire component is one single piece, which makes it less expensive to manufacture. The major drawback to this is the issue with damage and design. When one part of the rim is damaged the entire rim needs to be replaced, and design options are limited due to the manufacturing process.
Asanti rims are designed using a forged process, which provides a very smooth, even surface that translates into high gloss type of finish without any visual bumps or irregularities. In addition, the wheels are all designed as a two or three wheel that can be custom built to provide more elaborate spoke designs and colors on the wheels.
Bolt Pattern
It will be important when choosing any Asanti rims to check the bolt pattern on the vehicle as well as the bolt pattern on the wheel. The size of the replacement wheel should match the OEM recommendations or an upsize within the allowable range for the vehicle.
It is important if replacing aftermarket wheels on the vehicle with new Asanti rims to ensure the wheels on the car are actually the right size and not already upsized. This information should be available in the owner’s manual for the vehicle, or online through a dealership.
Finally, the last point to consider when choosing Asanti rims is to make sure you look at all the options before making a final decision. This will avoid the issue of buying one set, then wishing you had noticed a design you like even more.
