They are actually made by BBS, licensed to ASA.

thinking either 16 or 17"s to give it a sporty euro-look

Here is the link to tirerack

There is only one version, ASA. look at the center cap...


Very affordable and backed with both the BBS and Tirerack.

They're alright... but I myself would buy the BBS RCs. Sure they cost more. The difference is the way they're made. BBS wheels are made with a better process... counterpressure casting. Think if it sort of like reverse forging. They pull a vaccum on the casting mold then suck the molten aluminum in, rather than gravity casting where you just pour into a mold at atmospheric pressure. The difference is less air in the rim, leaving a stronger, more consistent final casting. And if I remember right, RCs are only about 225 for a 16" rim.
