DPE Made in the USA. Personally I think Asanti is for people who like the bling. Classier look, DPE.

I like DPE over Asanti. But Asanti still makes some nice wheels. If you go Asanti, check out the brushed aluminum finishes on the centers.

DPE. Maybe i'm biased from working in a salvage yard but i've seen quite a few heavily bent and even shattered asanti wheels. But only in sizes 22" and up. Also see lots of broken HRE.

hehe DPE all the way. complete barrel and face is forged. some wheel companies and i'm not saying Asanti is one of them, uses forged wheels and cast face and advertise as forged.
