17X7 ASA AR1

[silversleeper]

I like how these look. According to Tirerack, these are for a VW Corrado, but they have the same bolt pattern as our cars. Offset is a bit high I think, at +38, but I think it will do fine. Tell me what you guys think. With the fitment and spacing issues. I dont know enough about all that.

They look nice, and are cheap. Thats all I want. I will be mounting 225 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s on it.

Can't answer your questions, sorry... but I just wanted to say that that is a sexy wheel right there.

How much?

i would go with the h&r 15mm spacers; 23mm offset on a 7" wheel is pretty close to ideal.

Thanks for posting this, I had pretty much the same question on those wheels.

I hate spacers, though. The ASA website doesn't list that wheel in a 17x7 4x100, but tirerack does. I dunno why.

ASA's site says:

14x5 et38
14x5 et44
15x5.5 et38
16x7 et38

all in 4x100.

p00p. Is there another wheel w/ a similiar black look AND w/ the right offset?

I was thinking of getting these, and still want to, but a little expensive for me right now....i think. I dunno. I could run them without spacers on my ix though. :D

i just installed those on my 92ic e30 mtech pkg and i really like them-attractive and pretty light-i have 17 x 8 front and 17 x 9 rears in the e30 m3 offset-i recently finished my e30 m3 5 lug swap and chose those wheels...want to post a pic but not too sure how... :(

Get it hosted somewhere.

imageshack.com

Pretty much just google for "free image host".

Then put it like this inside of the [img] tags.

If they are indeed 4x100, a 15mm spacer would be ideal. But you should make sure the center bore is big enough as well. E30's hubs are 57.1mm.

i figured the center bore for our cars, but have not been able to find the centerbore of those rims. if anything, hubcentric rings should be able to handle that?

Yes, but only if the center bore is larger than 57mm. If they are smaller, you can't use them.

i figured that much. thanks for the info.

i called tirerack, but the guy i spoke with knew nothing of the rim. i need to check out the main asa site.

most aftermarket wheels have very large centerbores.... this wheel will have a 73mm or something like that i think

yeah, but idealy you'd want a 7" wheel with a 30mm offset for the ix.
