lots of positive feedback here. They make BBS stuff as well, so Im sure they arent bad. I have their cheap winter rims and no problems so far.

if you are only looking for appearance, then its simple, get whatever you like the most. If you want lightweight, then you base your decision on that. figure out what your priorities are.

ASA makes a high quality wheel, especially good value for the price.

ASA JH3's have been great as winter wheels. They even have BMW stickers for caps. I will say that a member reported the stickers are coming loose after one season. Each sticker is $5. Could have to consider superglue.

Have a read of ASA's corporate profile here.

Looks good, their operations were set up in consultation with BBS Germany and are up-to-date with all leading manufacturing standards e.g. ISO, TUV etc.

I have been very pleased with mine.
I first had them on my E90 (pictured), now they're on my E92. Over a year and a half, and are holding up great.

Look good. Any problems with the stickers falling off the centre caps?

No. When I bought these from tirerack, they included center caps no charge.
They didn't hold up well, as they didn't fit quite right.

I have since bought BMW OEM center caps, the logos snap out, they're not glued in. I then applied them to the ASA stock caps with a thin bead of liquid nails.

If you're familiar with this stuff, these baby's are on for good! Crazy glue is too thin.

Hello,
Quick question, do the 17x7.5 ASA JH3 Silver need spacers for an e90 335 with Sport? I haven't gotten the wheels yet so I haven't had a chance to put them on to find out.

I've had ASA AR1 on my E46 330Ci (18x8 & 18x9) for the last 3 years.

They still look like new.

In fact, I like them so much that I´ve bought another set for the E39 540 (18x8 & 18x9).

The best value for money!

I use OEM BMW centercaps, and they fit just fine

The 19's center cap is ever so slightly larger. The cap doesn't quite fit.
