ASA Wheels from TireRack?
Just wondering if anyone here has had any experiences with ASA wheels. I don't see many Subarus here running them. Any opinions/reviews? Is ASA a reputable brand, considering its only $159 a wheel?
Thinking about getting the GT06 for my car...

kinda like konig, BSA, or others, they are one of the "lower" brands.
They are perfectly fine if you are considering them for your DD. |

They look nice just heavy and not for performance. I knew a guy who had ASA on an Audi TT. Like stated above similar to Konig or closer to the recently popular XXR.

I ran them on my wrx for years and while they weren't the lightest things out there they also didn't bend like the two sets of Rota wheels I owned. I hit many potholes with them that just rattled my teeth....and they were fine. I also thought they looked ok.
I don't really know that I can give higher praise than that. |

I remember reading some where that they are made by bbs but like a lower end range of wheels.

durable, cost effective but as previously stated not very light all of which adds up to a decent daily use wheel. The finish is surprisingly tough for a wheel in that price range.

Thanks for all the replies, I'll probably buy a set when they become avaliable.
According to the website these won't be avaliable until the 18th correct? Would you happen to have the offset information for the ASA GT06 17x8 wheels? I can't find it on the website. |
