Default OZ Alleggerita and BFG R1-S

Just ordered a set of OZ Alleggerita wheels in 18" x 8/10 with BF Goodrich GForce R1-S tires for autocross. I originally attempted to order 4 285/30/18s, but the R1 has too stiff a sidewall to mount that wide of a tire on an 8" wheel like can be done with hoosiers.

I won't be home for awhile to enjoy them but will post pictures once I arrive.

Whole setup was about $3000 delivered from Tire Rack. Not bad for brand new!

I'm jealous. I've been wanting OZ alleggerita and some new R compounds for some time.
What color OZ wheel did you get?
Post pics when they arrive.

I got the anthracite because it was the cheapest. I liked the graphite silver metallic, but when I compared it to pictures of the car they actually looked a bit too dark, and I couldn't justify the extra money.
The bright orange ones seemed autocross appropriate, but my fiance/codriver wasn't a fan.

Ultimately I will get a square setup with 285 A6s but these should be fun to learn on regarding how the car responds to rcomps.
