ASA rims or TSW rims or neither
I want to take off my Lowenharts b/c they SUCK!!! I saw online ASA ST3 and TSW bremma wheels in silver for cheap. Any suggestions or recommendations about these wheels? good or bad wheels??
I have 245/35-19 F 275/30-19R tires on now. Any good sites for complete pkgs in 18"??
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!!

I have the ST3, I like them, but not completely sure the offset is correct. I had rubbing of the tires and had to roll the fenders a little more than the originals, but its all good now. Make sure you look at the offset, and yes, they are REAL cheap, but I kinda like the look. What exactly sucks on your wheels?

Lowenharts
The Lowenharts LD5 rim bend very easily. I have had atleast 5 sets of aftermarkets wheels in my lifetime and have never had soo many like i have with the lowenharts. I have had them since april 2003. I bent 3 rims, chrome peeling on the 4th rim. NY driving is killer. But dont get me wrong, when these rims are waxed & cleaned-they look hott.

Asa
I see, I have had mine for 6 months, no bends, but our roads are pretty good here in so cal. I've hit maybe 2 potholes in that time, and no bends yet. Take a look at the tirerack site, they have a short writeup on the ASA company, and call them, they may have a warranty available, plus, you cannot get them cheaper than they have them for, and their service is top notch.

i would get these if were you. they're the real deal...unless you absolutely need 19"s.
$1300 for AMGs and they come with tires. Not bad!

Well TSW is a good company and have been around for years. They even have benz specific wheels that are hub centric and accept your TPMS sensors.
