18" ASA GT5 riding on Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 215 in the front and 245 in the back

Nice !! I like them. Seal them, and good luck with the brake dust. A Turbo leaf blower works wonders.

looks nice, I didnt know ASA wheels worked for 1 series due to the offsets

Staggered or square setup ......

What offsets?
I know they're not light weight wheels but any clue how much they weigh?

FactoryFast · 04-27-2012, 09:03 PM

ulrichd · 04-28-2012, 09:35 PM

Tire Rack lists 18x8 front, 18x9 rear, no offsets listed.

offset is 40 for the front and 45 for the rear , so they are good to go

Call me crazy but I thought the red/yellow dot on the tire is supposed to be matched/opposite to the valvestem for best initial balance

Looks like they mounted it 90 degrees off, so I am guessing the blance weights are somewhere around 135 degrees counterclockwise from your valvestem and theres a lot of them?

Elsabor67 · 04-30-2012, 01:13 AM

Looks clean!! I'm up in Vilseck. Where are you at?

They're about 23 lbs in the front and 21 lbs in the back according to tire rack...

I really have no idea, I had them pre mounted by tire rack. There aren't TOO many weights on them, though.

Edit* There are actually a ton of weights on them. Good call.

I think I saw your car today parked out by the Combat Comm Blg. They look good in person too.

American in the military brought it over.

Jacko · 08-29-2012, 06:01 PM

Where are you in Germany? I am at Ramstein AB . Oh, The car looks great with those wheels. I just ordered a set for my 2012 and I am having 235/40 up front and 255/35 out back. They said that was the widest I could go up front and out back with out any rubbing. What did you put on your wheels?

Jacko · 08-29-2012, 06:03 PM

I just looked again and now I know what you installed. Stuff happens.

SSunklug · 08-29-2012, 06:12 PM

Really nice. But in my opinion, rear wheels are too inside.
A less ET i think it would be better.

SSunklug · 08-29-2012, 06:12 PM

Could you show more pics?
