Default Asa Fr1 Wheel Weight???

What is the weight of the asa fr1? Are they going to make an 18 inch ever?
also do the new konig holes fit the s2000? I think they only weigh like 16lbs. in 17 inch.

thanks

The wheel is 18 lbs. front and 20 lbs rear. It will not be available in the 18". I have already suggested it.

Russ,
The ASA in 17" and Kumho Ecsta MXs (225/45 and 255/40) will weigh almost exactly the same as stock and you'll get more grip from the wider setup. Additionally, the Kumhos are a lot more predictable than the Stock S02s and are less expensive.

Nobody, do you get any rubbing with the ASA on your lowered S2K? How much is the drop with the race springs?

The package should not rub. It is a 62mm offset rear so it should tuck in fine.
Let me know if I can help.
Thank you

The rims fit perfectly...48 offset for front, 62 rear.

KG/MM DR21 drop is just over an inch.

After I realigned the car (Shatten/Spoon specs) I do get minor rubbing with the front left tire, but only under SEVERE cornering loads under specific conditions (sharp uphill righthander).

~1.5" drop all around, no rubbing, but ideally the fronts could use a few more MMs or you could go with 215/255s which is still wider than stock and maintains the stock stagger ratio...

Yeah, 215s and 255s would be ideal in terms of width/stagger ratio, but the profile of the front 215s with 45 series tires would reduce the diameter of the wheel and the profile of 50 series would be increase it. Not a huge deal (and I suppose the ACTUAL profile and ACTUAL width greatly varies from mfg. to mfg. anyways).
