Thanks to Craigslist, I came upon a nice set of ASA AR1s (17x7, 4x100) for my '03 MCS.

My question is pertaining to whether or not I need to get different lug bolts. Do I need them or can I use the OEM lug bolts?

They're a fairly common wheel, so I figured those of you with the AR1s could point me in the right direction.

If it does need lug bolts, what would be the best/most inexpensive place to find them online?

Thanks!

 

From what I have seen stock lugs will work with ASA wheels. I have ASA JH6 wheels that work with the stock lugs & I've seen those AR1s used with stock lugs too.

 

Bolts are fine but you need concentric rings: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand


From The Tire Rack website.
Included Wheel Installation Hardware

The wheels you chose are engineered to use Original Equipment lug hardware and therefore lug hardware is not included with your order.
Hardware included at no additional charge:


(4) Required centering ring

 

yeah hubcentrics are a must... dont want wobbly rims

 

Thanks so much for the information!

Would a wheel/tire store be able to order them in for me? It appears that I can't quite order them off of tirerack since they're an included item!

Any idea on cost? They seem inexpensive enough.

And they just go over the hub behind the centercaps? Sorry, I'm in unfamiliar territory!

 

I have a set of ASA AR1 17" on my Mini and I love them. The lug bolts on your Mini work just fine and you can get the hubcentric rings from Brandon at TireRack.com if the wheels you are getting do not have them.

 

yeah on my rims i got from tirerack they had them installed already but they were plastic (they make metal ones too) that were held in by a metal wire

cant be much at all... i didnt look where to get them seperately..

 

The rings are $5 ea, Call me to order. The go into the back side of the wheel, in the centerebore (the large hole in the the middle of your lug holes)
