Their website says everything is manufactured, chromed and assembled in the USA: http://www.asantiwheels.com/gallery/flash/
Perhaps there are "fake" Asanti wheels out there??

Huh? $1800 for used Made In China wheels is not stealing. The only stealing being done is the graveyard robbery these companies do to your wallet buy charging so much for this Chinese Crap. But they cost a lot of money so they gotta be good, right?

I never been a big fan of chrome on the 5 series but for 1800 bucks who gives a shit what we think about them. If they are really Asanti wheels that is a incredible deal. For that I tip my hat.

My Ride: 2008 550i Sport Package w/ Paddle Shifter, Navi, Logic7, Comfort Access....Carbon Black/Black Dakota
HAHA...these are NOT replicas...my buddy bought them for close to $5000 with a hookup price when they first came out...they are the real deal..and if you look em up on ebay...theyre goin for around 4 geez...The tires were in great shape Falken 452's Not my first choice but it will do for now...
I can use em for a year and slang em for at least 2 grand when im done ... Look at it this way, if I have to replace my stock tires once during my lease term ill have to spend 1300-1400 easy....so for me it was a no brainer. I can use the tread on these rims....then when its time to get new tires ill sell the rims and put the stocks back on...ready to roll!!!

I highly doubt you get $2K for these wheels alone in two years. You may not know but you have a niche product as not many people like that style of wheel. Plus you need to remember that these wheels are chrome and as the elements take their tole the chrome will bubble and feel. However, I do like the way you think.
