The ASA AR1 wheels are 16 x 7's and weigh 18.8 lbs...they are a Korean BBS knock off, actually made under licence to BBS. I have had them now for four years on my 16V and used them on our wondefull PA pot hole filled roads. I am running 205 45 16's on a lowered sport suspension with limited travel...no collapsed or dinged rims...and I have hit some doozies. The finish needs some dressing, but other than that, they have stood up fine (better than the oem BBS wheels I see on BMW's in the same shop I use).
The last aftermarket wheels I had, got destroyed on the same roads in less than 16 months. On these ASA wheels, the heavily offset center hubs anchor the rim closer to the center of the wheel than many other wheels..so they lend more support to the inside of the rims...maybe why they have stood up so well.
