ASA JH3


It is an ASA JH3 Bright Satin Sil. Decent price wheel at $209 a pop. I don't know much about ASA other than they have a license to use BBS technology..which I know is top rate. Thoughts?

BBS TECHNOLOGY = Forged wheels......

What technology is there in a cast wheel ????

Sounds like savy marketing to the less than educated consumer.

Get a set of Axis Hiro's.... they have a phat lip. Chic's dig that.

ASA is not very reputable(high quality), IMO i don't really like the style. If your just going for looks, not performance and you like this style go for it, they are pretty cheap @ 209. I always think you get what you pay for.

I just can't believe that this wheel could be any worse than the stock 18" wheel. I'm looking to replace the stock wheels at a decent price....$200-$350 a wheel. I assume that TSW, Konig and ASA are all in the same ballpark when it comes to perceived quality (crap), correct?

If you are a racing nut, then get better wheels. If you are more about looks and performance is a secondary concern, ASA will be just fine. Also, if your self-image is wrapped up in "name brand" then you may want to look to spend more.
