winter wheels tires

Has anyone any experience with ASA wheels. I was looking for a low budget wheel for my snow tires and was thinking of ASA st4's. They are a 5 spoke amg look alike. Any suggestions for a W210 e55?

Luke said that it's a pretty good combo if you want to preserve your style IIs. They are cheap and they're of ok quality.

E55
The Tirerack site only shows 19 in size for the E55. Are these wheels not available in 18 in size

I got my set in today. They look pretty sweet with the polished lip. I got a set of 4 245 40 18 M3 and the ASA st4's delivered for 1500. Not too shabby. If the rims hold up, I will be very happy as the set looks hot. Tomorrow I will do a rear brake job and mount the set. I'm curious of how the everyday ride will be.

I'm placing my order tomorrow, but I'll keep my stock rims though. Planning to switch to BBS RS-GT once summer comes around again

I got the M3's too. I really liked the M2's on my 540. I haven't placed them on the car yet but probably should. Putting on snow tires in November pretty much guarantees no snow until January

We already had our first snow last Sunday in Boston, so I placed the order right after.
