2005 C320 4 matic Rim ideas
What does everyone think of the ASA ST-4 double spoke wheels? They look like the AMG wheels for 1/3 the cost. I think I am going to order them from tire rack, any opinions? I would like to get the 17x7.5 on all 4. Anyone have experience or problems with these? Do the screws that surroyund the edge corrode, I would like to get these and sell my stock ones and then run them all year.

Hey guys... FYI, the ASA's supposedly do not clear front big brake kits without spacers. One guy I know was disappointed when they did not clear his brakes, and even more disappointed when the hubcentric spacers he used to clear the brakes caused vibration issues. I recommend you look at TSW Bremma's if you have bbk.

Basically, if your car has the large cross drilled rotors with either "Mercedes Benz" or "AMG" stamped on the calipers, ASA wheels will not clear. Of course, if you upgraded to Brembo aftermarket BBK, ASA will not clear either. TSW Bremma is the only AMG replica wheel that has been known to clear the MB big brake kits.
shiat, sombody better break the news to hittin160s...

Hey guys, Ive got the ASA ST4s in 19s and chrome. I just got them in the other day, have not been able to put them on yet, due to a mix up with the lug bolts, have new ones on the way. I bought them from a large rim shop in S. Texas, who came very highly recommended by Tirerack, one of their best dealers. I was told by the tech that they just did a 230SS two weeks before hand and they did have to use hub centric spacers that are not supposed to cause any vibration, but they are required to clear the brakes, due to available offset. I got 19 X 8.5" in the front, and 19 X 9.5" for the rear. Spacers up front, 10mm. I am supposed to get the new lug bolts on Tues/Wed. So, when I get them on, Ill let you know.

anyone with experience with the Mille Miglia F20?
are they going to be hard to keep clean?
what's the finish quality like?
thanks!
below are pics of the wheel, and how they might look mounted on my car.
