Will these wheels fit nicely?

usurp · 10-28-2009, 09:39 AM

Finding wheels has been a headace and when i finally found ones turned out my 255 tires wouldn't fit on them. so i finally found the ASA's AR1 and I just need to confirm with you guys if these will fit right on my car or if they will stick out etc..

Front:
18x8
Offset: 40mm Backspacing: 6.10" Bolt Pattern: 5-120

Rear:
18x9
Offset: 45mm Backspacing: 6.80" Bolt Pattern: 5-120

thanks guys I am nearly there!

I think they come up on Tire Rack as a fit, they are a good source for fitment issues.

they'll fit fine but beware of their clearcoat finish as they come off pretty easily...

well i originally wanted OZ or BBS wheels but the ones I wanted didn't come in 18x9. When I finally decided on the ultraleggera turns out they were out of stock on 18x9.

They have the OZ Alleggerita HLT but the color is Anthracite Painted and I don't know how that will look with my titanium silver. I also found the OZ Botticelli but can't imagine how they would look on my beemer either.

So in the end decided to go with the cheap ASA AR1. I live in Kuwait and will be paying around $280 to ship the 4 wheels here. Honestly its turning out to be super complicated finding a wheel.

id say wait until you find somethign that completely satisfies you. if they are out of stock on the ultraleggeras, why dont you just wait until they come back in stock?

cuz i cracked the wheel of my z4 a few days back and its parked until i get new wheels. they get the ultraleggeras back in stock end of december, can't be without a car for 2 months.

Have you thought about buying a spare oem rear wheel and waiting on the ultraleggeras?it's always nice to have an extra set of wheels. Maybe you can find a cheap rear on one of the eBay sites.

Choosing wheels has to be one of the hardest choices. Its difficult to imagine how a wheel will end up looking on your car but I found some pictures of the ASA AR1 and they look pretty good.

Had a hard time finding shots of some other wheels on the car so thats why I am feeling comfortable ordering these.
