ASA wheels are reasonably priced, fairly heavy (i.e., sturdy), and some models are not ugly. I think this manufacturer is most popular with off-road enthusiasts who want a “value-wheel” that is strong enough to survive significant abuse.

I use this wheel as part of my winter wheel/tire setup.



If you identify an ASA wheel that is the right size and correct offset, and you like its appearance, I don’t see how you could go wrong.

ASAs are really cheap and will make your Z look cheap as well.

Troll the marketplace and you can find some good deals.

Been with us for a long time and have had no issues. Was a division of BBS at one time and have since branched off by themselves.

^^ I like that look (black spokes with polished rims on the Redline Z). I think the wheel is attractive because it’s tastefully simple (no fake “bolts” on the perimeter or other “junk stuff” going on).

If you have time, would you post your specifications (wheel diameter and width front and rear, offset(s), tire sizes)?

fronts are 18x8.5 w/ 245/45-18 tires
rears are 18x9.9 w/ 275/45-18 tires
I think the offsets are 35 to 40 not real sure but they seem to work.

^^ Thanks for the info. I'm going to look at these wheels. Looking at your pictures, I'd say the offset looks more like around 30.

I’m not sure the model you have is still available, but it looks a lot like the ASA Muscle Rogue. That wheel has a 25mm offset and weighs 28 lbs. At about $175.00, it's not an expensive wheel. Not a bad pick for a Z by someone on a budget.
