ASGA Spirit 18" STI BRZ Replica Wheel 18x8 5x100 +40 Group Buy
Hey Guys,
Just spoke to Ben at AJ Racing and told him I was looking to get a group buy together for these wheels as I see a lot of interest on the forum. He said he has a few sets coming in October 18th for $250CAD/~$224USD a wheel plus shipping. I asked about better pricing for group buy and he said he will get back to me. We would need to order 10 sets in all of the same color to be eligible for a group buy. They will be shipped from the manufacturer in Taiwan to AJ Racing in BC Canada, then distributed to us. In an effort to organize the color choice, I am adding a poll. Remember, we all need to agree on one color. I will update this post as soon as I hear more info on pricing from Ben. UPDATE: Ben got back to me last night. It looks like once Ben receives deposits, he can submit the order to the manufacturer in Taiwan, it will then take about 3 months till he receives them at his facility in BC, Canada. He is offering 10% discount pricing which is $900CAD/~$805USD per set plus $150-$200CAD for shipping to the lower 48 states. We also have the option of either a 'STI' logo or '86' logo center cap at no extra charge. -Mike - Made out of CAST aluminum - multi-spoke design for any big brake upgrade - low drag brake cooling - weighs 21 lbs (9.55kg) - 56.1mm hub bore size - comes with center cap - Available in Matte Black or Hyper silver or Gun-metal - Made in Taiwan ![]() ![]()

I have a silver BRZ too. I was thinking Gun-Metal or Black, in a matte finish. I do like the look of these rims

I picked silver, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if either gunmetal or black received 10 votes and the discount was significant enough for me to not just buy the silvers at full asking price. I'm not dead set on silver, I just think it looks more OEM for a black car. Gun metal is okay because it's easier to take pictures of, while black looks good in person, but has that murdered out look and doesn't photograph as well.
Just my $0.02, but my vote would be 1) Silver 2) Black 3) Gun Metal

Can you ask Ben about getting "STI" center caps? Sucks on the shipping since I just want them shipped to Seattle, which is pretty close to where they are located in BC.

Forgot to add that we have the option of the STI logo or '86' logo at no extra charge. Thanks for bringing that up.

Plus, the tS BRZ seems to only come with black STI wheels, so I guess getting black Spirits will help my BRZ look more JDM OEM anyways. *shrug*

So I've decided that I have to stick with silver. Black really does nothing for me since I have a black BRZ and plan on getting large, black calipers. It'll just look I'm trying too hard to be cool and I'm going more for a "Classy USDM OEM" look that only silver wheels can help with. Sorry guys. I hope you can convert some others to black or just get more votes.
