I just mounted a set on my car last week. I ran 225/45-17 and 255/40-17. They don't stick out at all, they come flush with the sheet metal. I looked at wheels for quite some time before I settled on these and I couldn't be happier. 17+18 lbs. Two piece forged with a polished lip all for under $1,000. Kwando has some nice pics of the ASA FR1's on his Spa Yellow but be advised they look better in person than any photos I've seen of them. Do a search you'll be able to find some pics.

They are 17X8 242.00 and 17X9 249.00 per wheel. We have the wheels in stock currently. They are a painted center and polished forged wheel.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Lig, the car looks great.

Jim posted the size and offsets... I'm running 215/45 255/40 Yoko AVSi's

Very neutral behavior - controllable oversteer when you want it!

As an unbiased spectator to lig's car, I must say that the wheels look sweet...especially for the money. His car also handles like a dream. The springs he's got feel remarkably similar to stock in their behavior...not as harsh as many lowering springs...but also not as low...

As for the M-B...CUT THE SPRINGS liggy!!!
