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.

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.
