I don't know about these asashi wheels, but i bought a set of rears that were made by Transwheel. the only difference is they are slightly heavier than the stock enkei wheel.

I would just buy them used. You can get them used for like 600. Amd in decent shape. These will end up costing you like 800 bucks with shipping.

9 out of 10 when you buy these wheels used with tires, you have to replace the tires anyway...

I've seen them go for $500-$600 with bald tires. The price I told you was with good tires.. Trust me if you look, you will find..

Those are OEM wheels.

They aren't made by Asahi, they are reconditioned OEM wheels.

I wouldn't buy reconditioned wheels simply for the fact that you don't know what kind of condition they were "reconditioned" from.
