I like these as well. I'm still debating on what to get for my Forester XT. I'd also like to hear any thoughts. I had the weight of these but can't seem to find it anymore. I think they may be on the heavy side.

Are those little tiny bolts cosmetic, or are the spokes of this wheel actually bolted to the rim of the wheel?

If I'm not mistaken they are 1 PC wheels so those must be for show:

Some info here from the ASA site:

Hmm, it does look 1-piece... Are these lighter than Rota Formels, which look very similar?

Why are wheel sales sites so reluctant to state weight and composition (alloy/aluminum) of wheels?

Bump... Anyone else know anything about these wheels? I like them, but the little Allen bolts are kinda bling.

They're great wheels in terms of strength and fit/finish. For the Subaru, it's a 17X7 ET48 for $179 each. Not too bad on weight either - about 20.5 lbs.

I have ASA JS5's and love em. Look real good and pretty light for only costing 125 a rim. I think ASA's are some of the best deals out there.

What is the weight of the stock rims? 20 lbs sounds heavy to me.

Haha alumi alloy, actually
They're pretty hefty, but they're very durable too -- that's why they're the stockers

38 lbs must be with the tire, no way they are that heavy.

So, does anyone know the weight of the stock 2002 WRX wheels, without the tire?

C'mon, we got a lot of smart people here -- someone has to know!
