ASA 18" GT5 Rims Winter Setup...anyone running them?
I was thinking of getting the ASA 18" Gt5 wheel for my winter tire setup for my C63 but I recently discovered that tire rack is selling them with hub centric rings... I cant find an ASA manufactures website to ask what size the actual hub diameter is... I know they are a subsidiary of BBS wheels.

I don't want them if I am going to have to run a ring so they work right. just wondering if anyone here had them on a W204 platform car and if they are using hub rings or not.

I'm having a hell of a time finding anything close to oem spec in an aftermarket wheel

I'm looking for 18"X8" ET 45

You'll need hub rings unless you get a higher end wheel with custom bores. ASA do not to my knowledge manufacture any wheels with factory spec hubs.

What is the issue of having the ring?

The issue is am pretty particular about my cars and I dont like the idea of having to run rings... so I'll keep looking for something that is the proper fitment.
