Thoughts? 18" ASA GT1

[Silver Ecstasy]

It's a brand new wheel and I am really liking it! Can't seem to get any info on pricing but they look great even on the vehicle simulator.

I was thinking about this wheel to...im curious about how much they weigh and what the e.t. is... I think its a nice looking wheel and will look great with our Crystal White Pearl paint.

Nice looking wheel, a classy touch for the MS3. Weight, considering the price is probably around 23-24lbs, ouch.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Same as stock then..no biggie.

Weight is important, but it's not a big deal either. As long as you're not rolling heavier than stock, it shouldn't be an issue. Besides, I don't mind a little bulk in my wheel, with all these potholes everywhere. I seen people with lightened wheels messing them up all the time. That's not worth the weight savings.

Depends on how the wheel is made.

I like the looks of them.

True, but even you can speak with those Rays MS3 wheels. I seen a thread a while back of someone who dented a few of those from potholes. It may have been you? Or someone else it had to have been.

Find the thread. I have seen a handful of people on all 4 forums I'm on running these wheels. No one really posts except me that I know of and I have never damaged any wheel on any car, let alone these RAYS.

I will, it was on msf.

lol wut

I'd almost agree. Sometimes you just can't help it. I nailed one a few weeks ago, 2 lane road with no shoulder and a line of traffic coming right at me.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

I can't find it now, go figure. Either way, I wasn't saying it as if it was a matter of fact. I was just saying maybe that have something to do with a possible vulnerability in worse road conditions?

I'm just glad I got wheel and tire protection when I bought the car, our roads are royally ****** after this winter.

I say for looks, they look great. If they were lighter, I might consider them myself

Yeah these are basically the Kazera KZ-Js I was asking about in an earlier thread:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...KZ-J&wheelFinish=Machined+w/Anthracite+Accent

very close in styling...

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Wow those are incredibly close. Arn't they actually the same company? The Kazera's were 23lbs I believe.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Same company, yeah. I don't know the exact weight... The only difference really is that the KZ-Js have a slightly brighter finish.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

And I wouldn't mind that so much. I like the ASA's but don't want them to look too "chrome" looking.

 

[mr_mazda329]

But the Kazeras have a machined face.
