I’ve heard a similar story about a Bay Area driver that had it happen with some Asanti’s.

That happen over 6 months ago and Sevas Settled out with him. You have seen many wheels in the market that have had problems and wouldn't judge a company for 1 or 2 wheels that who knows what happen on the road with the customer. Rad's to HRE Wheels have broken, cracked and who knows what else. I found OEM BMW Wheels crack just how this guys did so why don't they do a story on BMW?

OEM BMW WHEEL




3 Piece Wheel on Porsche

They had a problem that is being tested right now with the NHTSA with their 22 S10 wheel. They have been very cooperative and if it is a problem with their wheel they will let the public know. The S10 wheel is cast aluminum and their one piece has nothing to do with their 3 piece forged line. Their forged wheels have T6061 centers with stainless steel fasteners. The NHTSA is also testing their aluminum alloy type and will let them know shortly (on there 1 Piece). If you ordered the forged wheels you will be fine but from what I know they had a problem with only the 1 piece S10 wheel and it was mostly for 745 only.

The grammar fairy is here to teach you something.

There
–adverb
1. in or at that place (opposed to here): She is there now.
2. at that point in an action, speech, etc.: He stopped there for applause.
3. in that matter, particular, or respect: His anger was justified there.
4. into or to that place; thither: We went there last year.
5. (used by way of calling attention to something or someone): There they go.
6. in or at that place where you are: Well, hi there.
–pronoun 7. (used to introduce a sentence or clause in which the verb comes before its subject or has no complement): There is no hope.
8. that place: He comes from there, too.
9. that point.
–noun 10. that state or condition: I'll introduce you to her, but you're on your own from there on.
–adjective 11. (used for emphasis, esp. after a noun modified by a demonstrative adjective): Ask that man there.
–interjection 12. (used to express satisfaction, relief, encouragement, approval, consolation, etc.): There! It's done.

Their

–pronoun
1. a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
2. (used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her): Someone left their book on the table. Did everyone bring their lunch?

Asanti makes rims for morons in rap videos. Please do not tell me they somehow have something to do with one of the most well-known multi-piece wheel manufacturers on earth.

Explain yourself sir.

You don't know? Asanti OWNS Kinesis now. They bought Kinesis almost a year ago.

Here's one similar thread:

Baby Jesus help us all. Well, scratch them off my shortlist of people to do business with. Thanks for the info, any company that puts diamonds in wheels clearly isn't thinking performance.

yup. Old School Kinesis wheels are great, but anyone that makes chrome and diamond wheels for rappers is definitely not even a consideration anymore.

Expect their new "Streetz Competitionz" line to include multi-piece platinum-plated wheels with crocodile-skin centers, specifically designed for Chrysler 300C's and Dodge Magnums.

OEM BMW WHEEL




3 Piece Wheel on Porsche



Looks like the Porsche wheel was powder coated. If that is the case, it could have be weakend due to the (pc) process. It also looks like it may have been at the track.
