never heard of Zerra - despite the fact i was looking quite some for a light-weight 19'' wheel at the beginning of this season...preferably street legal in Germany.

Ended up buying a set of the BBS RE (which is the same as the FI i think). It is single piece forged and even lighter that the OZ Superforgiata

Well you have now so the marketing works..

I'm looking for a spare set, OZ Ultralegerra seem best value here in Eu. Looking for a strong wheel, not too worried about absolute lightness.

OZ Ultralegerra are definitely great value for money - and I saw some serious teams consider them good enough to be used in VLN racing. Not forged- so not quite as light as the forged Superforgiata. and the looks is a matter of taste obviously

Both look pretty good. Do you know a supplier in Germany? may take advantage of the weakish Euro. My car is white/ red so I'm thinking a black wheel for the spare set, makes a change and apart from red I can't think of another colour that would look ok.

I really like the look and the prices of these wheels.
Looks like RS offset only!?

Guy I know sells a set of centerlock OZ wheels in black, for GT3 (not RS). He's in Belgium.

If you are interested just send me a msg and I'll get you in touch.

I bought my BBS RE wheels from a race shop

they also offer both OZs as CL and 5-lug.

I liked their service and prices were also good.

Default BBS- a proven brand

yes - i definitely think so!

and for us it good to see a great brand with proven products back into being able to deliver their stuff (compare this to the disaster with the alternative wheels being used in the Porsche SuperCup... a whole race had to be cancelled, tenth of sets of wheels needed to be swapped out to be able to continue the series)
