Default I should add...

Also- how much ride difference (harshness) is there between 17 and 18, with stock sport suspension?? TIA

Default Wow, they're cheap..

They're pretty inexpensive at about $150 for 17, and about $165 for 18's..
With stock sport, the harshness you'll feel is really quite minimal.

Yes and the price reflects how cheap they are made.

Default A warning about the ASA wheels from an owner ...

I have learned through experience that wheels are definitely where you get what you pay for. ASA, it appears, paints theur wheels while they lie flat from overhead, therefore there is next to no paint on the sides of the spokes ! ! ! If you look closely its pretty bad, you can almost see through the paint along the sides. Also they chip REAL easliy from road debris. Now ... they look soooo much better than stock IMHO but be warned. If you get them look them over carefully before they are mounted.

Default Wha??

Where'd you find them for 165 for 18s?? Tire Rack has them for 179, and 159 for 17s. And thats more expensive than many MilleMiglias (including Spiders, a favorite here) as well as most Borbets. I was actually hoping to spend less, but really like the style. Thanks alot for your help.
