I'm debating on getting a different set of summer wheels for the S4. If you remember, i currently have a set of 17x8 boleros that i run. I like them and they are in near perfect shape, but i was thinking about doing something different.

current wheels:

Choice one is a set of BBS RX, used, but in near perfect condition. Pretty much the classic BBS design.

Next choice would be a set of ASA AR1 (which are licensed by BBS), i would most likely go with the black centers. These wheels would be new. I saw a picture a while ago on here of a pearl S4 with them and loved it.

Both wheels are the exact same size, 17x8, ET35, and have the same weight - 22.9lbs (per tirerack). Price is going to be within $20 or so, so it doesn't matter.

Opinions?

Not the answer you're looking for but.................Boleros.

Ya, I bet the others are a PIA to keep clean too

And the RX is just getting played out in my opinion. Plus for similar pricing, buying used wheels is frightening.

Not helpful. =P

2nd I rarely like black wheels on cars.

Whichever ones are lightest, otherwise it's rice.

RX, classics.

but I still love the way they look. You should know, however, that they are relatively heavy and somewhat soft. I bent one of mine last year on a medium-hit pothole. My brother has not yet bent any of his ASA AR1s, and runs similar profile tires.

ASA AR1 18x8 ET35's are known not to clear B5 S4 stock brakes.

BBS RX are the heaviest wheel they make. It does have the look, but not the metallurgy or lightweight.
