Default POLL Wheels: ASA Wheels vs Enkei EKM3

Sup guys im not sure on which wheels i should get..and want a comfortable ride and not sure which offset is best and which wheel will be closest to stock or have a comfortable ride and not have too much body roll. I used to have the ASA AR1 18x8 all around but everytime the road had little bumps the car would swirve and i got the car aligned with new tires. I had the wheels on Goodyear GT 245/40. Unless you know any better tires that will bring back that stock feeling feel free to post. I choose these wheels b/c I don't want to spend more than a grand

My options are:

ASA AR1
Finish: Black w/Mach Lip
18x8
Offset 40mm

ASA AR1
Finish: Silver w/Machined Lip
18x8/18x9
Offset 35mm front/ 45mm rear


ASA AR2 V2
Finish: Machined w/Anthracite Accent
18x8
Offset 40mm


ASA AR3
Finish: Machined w/Black Accent
18x8
Offset 40mm


Enkei Performance EKM3
Finish: Bright Silver Paint
18x8
Offset +40mm

have u looked around dont just settle. i got a really nice set of rims for 200.00 a set of lowenhart 18x10 +40 front and rears with tires so i know thiers more epic deals out thier. i know if i was buying more rims to keep i being looking at somthing like these

works
18x8+38 18x9+38 5x114.3 Custom powder coated Matte black face and gloss black lips


ame
18x8+43 18x9+43


Weds Kranze Silver
18x8.5+43 18x9.5+43 5x114.3


Wise Sports
19x8.5+36 19x9.5+42



sorry i am bias to these wheels and the enkei u picked. the asa are nice for winter but other words i'd just rock some poweder coaded isX rims.

also with the offset you pick i wonder if u did an ls bbk swap would it clear. If u wanted to sit close to or flush you would need spacers for sure

Those Enkei's by far.

The ASA AR1 are simply regurgitated BBS RGR [ASA is owned by BBS, so they make a cheaper, less durable option to this wheel]

They are nice on some cars IMO, but those ENkei's look great in person. My coworker has a set of 17" on his Prelude and it looks great. I was amazed by the finish, since its silver & gunmetal - but it's not quite.

Dope wheels

None of them!

Pick up a set of Enkei PF01s with better fitment. Similar prices and much cooler wheel.
