Somebody please come take my CC away from me. I have been clicking "BUY NOW" one too many times since finding my car........

What a fantastic wheel. The pics do not do this wheel justice. Feel very light (haven't actually pulled the scale out to confirm) and the finish (Matte Black) is very nice. Can't wait to get these suckers on the car.

Specs:
OZ Racing Ultraleggerra HLT in Matte Black
Front-->8.5x19 et53
Rear-->12x19 et68

Stock wheels are at the refinisher getting put back to their original silver look. Those will be my street wheels. These OZ's will be my track wheels and my "when I'm feeling randy" wheels for the street

So I had a chance to go weigh them while my wife was tucking the boys to bed.

Fronts 21.8#
Rears 24.8#

The scale measured in 0.2 increments and is pretty accurate. I would say +/- 0.4# since I weighed myself and then myself with the wheel taking the difference.



@jimmy....nice! Nothing better than clean 2-channel audio setups.

Hope your wife isn't or wasn't surprised when the brown guy delivered the wheels cause I'm not....

Now the real safety bits (seats harness etc) are only suppose to be in next year (yeah figure of speech) but you will run sticky tires and track wheels before????

Those wheels are a great value and look nice too. If I keep my car I will probably end up with a set of those as well.

Nice choice.

I know some people split hairs over wheel weights, but nothing is ever free. Strength is often overlooked since that's harder to measure.

The OZ brand is serious business involved in top tier int'l racing and has the R&D backing to back up their &^$#@&%!

Congrats on the pick-up and I have a feeling you're going to want to run these all the time. Thanks for sharing.

There is always scraps and leftovers. Wheels are way more important that gluttony

As long as they are good enough for my boy Seb, they are plenty good for me!
