Don't know. I want to note the specs on the stock wheels and then search for OZ wheels that have the same specs.

I want to stay with 18" wheels, same offset, and width, etc.

Have not had the time to dig up info on my car's stock wheels and then search for OZ wheels.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Stock twists are offset 50 front and 45 rear.

I have O.Z. Ultraleggera's on my car ... they're lighter than the stock hollows despite being 19".

The 18" Allegrita's are even lighter, but I didn't care for the look as much. The Ultraleggera rears have a nice concave dish to them. The Allegritas tend to look smaller than they are, due to the lip and convex spokes.

I didn't see a 11" Allegrita in the correct size, but Ultraleggeras are available in 10" and 11".

Looks like the OZ Alleggerita HLT 18" wheels have offsets of 50 front and and 40 rear. Is the rear offset of 40 vs. the 45 stock going to be a problem?

What about backspacing? The OZ 18" wheels have a backspacing of 6.53 (front) and 7.08 (rear)?

Sincerely,

Macster.

The black art of back spacing is beyond my comprehension at this point. Hope one of the experts will chime in. I believe the 40mm spec will push the wheel outward to fill the fender better, but double check this. For what it's worth, I have 15mm spacers under my stock wheels and there is still room in the wheel well, no rubbing.

Look at Forgestar. Especially flow formed F14s. Very lite. I will be trying them and will provide feedback. About same price as OZ one piece. Will be tracking them. They look great in my opinion. Hopefully they are as strong as the manufacturer says.

laughing at the 'black art' comment.........agree it's nuts.
You can compute backspace given width and offset.....but it's nut's....why all don't just give an ET number and leave it alone.
Strickly speaking......offset is the diff bet the plane of the mounting surface and the spot half-way between inner and outer wheel lip.......if that surface is exactly at that mid point, their is no offset....but it's (technically) negative to the inside, pos to the outside.
Backspacing is (supposedly) simply the depth from that mounting surface to the inner rim edge. I've ordered a half doz custom wheels in past 10 yrs......always spec offset....period.

I like the hlt alleggerita as a track wheel also.........would like them more if it was not for their convex spoke design.
Am looking myself for some dif track wheels for this season.

if you get the o.z's be sure to get the gt2 spec version.. the turbo spec ones dont fit on the rear.. offset is too high and causes rubbing on the inside!

trust me!

I personally like HRE's

Good source to browse wheels and how they will look.

I have the alleggeritta's as my winter set. They are taking the abuse of a major Tahoe winter perfectly.

I have Forgestar F14's on my car now. They are quite a bit lighter than the stock wheels , cost is reasonable and I really like the looks. You can also specify the offset you want. I have Victor equipment wheels on my car (18x11 36mm offset) and really liked the wheels pushed toward the fender a little as compared to stock.

Picked these up from Porka:



Rears were 18x12 +51. I had a set of OEM 5mm spacers installed on my car so didn't have any issues with rubbing. Have a pair of 7mm H&R spacers in my garage and may throw those on to see if it makes any difference.

targa- the f14 wheels aren't as light as they are said to be. I threw mine on the scales and the weights were way of from what it was advertised. Still can't complain for the price and the look. I'm a fan, but next time getting ccw classics
