Do you have any other pics of them sitting on your HD to share.
I'm doing a little research before my wheel purchase, thanks/

love my 18" ASA AR1's, I've only had them on a couple of weeks and they are so much easier to clean compared to my S-lites.

What is the width of those wheels and what size tires do you have? I Love this look on the MINI and they fit your car perfectly up

Thanks Kenchan & Ca$per, these are the Chrome ASA AR1's 18x7.5 with a 38 offset.
and I am dropped on H-sport springs. Alex from tire rack hooked me up with these and the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 215/35/18's.

Only rubbed lightly once on the drivers rear liner when I hit a really bad dip on a high speed curve with about 100lbs in the boot. I couldn't see where it rubbed it was so light plus I was trying to see if I could get it to so I took it a little faster than normal. I wouldn't have heard it if I would have had the radio on it was so light, other than that I've been fine. I'm not sure what to expect on the dragon though. hmmm I might need to go this weekend to see how she'll do if the weather permits. (LOL: sounds like a good excuse to make a few runs on Saturday)

But then, I'm biased.



I considered those, then cheap'ed out and bought 18" Motegi's. That and a buddy in our club (shooler) put OZ Ultras on his EB/EB and I didn't wanna be a copycat.

Thos Ultras look great!
