Anyone have ASA AR-2's?
 

Kind of liking these wheels a lot, think they would look good on my black R56. I've seen plenty of pics of the AR-1's, but does anybody have the AR-2s? Preferably on an R56.....

Thanks!

What is the difference between the AR1 and AR2? I see a finish difference, but they seem to look the same otherwise. Are they 4 hole or are they a bunch of other holes to fit another pattern?

cosmetic diffrences
 

Ar2's Usually have a deeper lip, and a raw alloy finish on the front of spoke.
Ar1's are fully painted . Ar2 also uses an anthracite accent paint of the sides of the spokes and the barrel of the wheel further accenting the alloy color spoke faces.

It's kind of a "High class polish" vs. an "industrial, no frills" finish.

17x7 asa anthracite/machined ar2's

Borrowed from heyitsushiboy in "show me your wheels" thread . . .

page 227.

Never really been a fan of mesh/cross-spoke wheels, but something about the AR2's are sexy.

Thanks for the pic!

ah thanks! i was going to contribute but you beat me to it... with my own car! :lol: more in my gallery if you're interested. the close-up picture in there was from a week's worth of brake dust; it's usually a lot more shinier/polished.

:) Looks good by the way . . . love that triple black . .. very clean.:thumbsup:

Wow that looks awesome heyitzsushiboi, what are the tires you're using?
By how much is your MCS lowered?

215/40/17 kumho ecsta asx with 17x7 asa ar2's. suspension-wise i have koni yellow shocks, m7 springs, m7 front strut bar and plates, alta 19mm rear sway bar, and alta rear control arms. set at -1 degree camber all around, one full turn on the front yellows (still need to adjust the rear shocks) and about a 1.25" drop, so says m7. it provides about a one fingergap in the front and .5 fingergap in the rear.

A while back I was interested in the AR-2's and emailed tire rack about them. They said the AR-2's dont fit on the MINI even though the AR-1's do....

Dunno....

i'm living proof that they do! hahah

Call me direct. We can get them for you!
