17" ASA wheels for sale/trade - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

khail19 · 2009-10-26, 03:19 PM

I picked these up about 2 years ago, they were track wheels for a guy in TX. I'm pretty sure they are ASA KA3 wheels, originally sold by Tirerack. They are 17x7.5" with a 48mm offset and they are hub-centric. They are all straight, but far from cosmetically perfect. The original owner painted them at least once, and when I got them I gave them a bronze paint job. They look fine for winter wheels, which is what I used them for.

The tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons, 225/45/17. They have tons of tread, at least 90% left. They were display tires at a tire shop, and they were attached by a single bolt going through the tread. So each tire has a single hole in it, probably 1/4" or so. They were professionally patched on the inside (not plugged) so they hold air just fine. I drove on them with no issues at all for 6 months.

So basically a set of beater or track wheels with tires. I would like to get $250 for the set. I will split if there are buyers for the wheels and tires separately. I am interested in trades for 16" wheels, OEM or aftermarket. Here's some pics for you guys, to me they look more bronze than the pictures show.

See, that's what you get for cording tires.

I only ruined two tires, not all four.

Jerk.

Then you're doing it wrong.

khail19 · 2009-10-26, 06:14 PM

Returned your PM, Matt.

Aaron, thanks for strong-arming your friend, it is always appreciated!

Looks like these are sold, Matt will pick them up in a few weeks.

It's just one of the services I provide. Matt's "hey, maybe, I should rotate my tires" transitioned into "urgent need" in my driveway this morning

Wow good sale. I wish I would have known

I had that happen once.

Not like I made it to the cord though.

Way to half-ass it

Yeah, it doesn't count until there's a half-delaminated cord slapping the fender-liner on the freeway.
