Superleggera Offset and Color

As we have no search function

, I am forced to ask. For 18x8 rims, is a 35mm offset ok/better than a 45mm offset? If I remember correctly, emax02 has 18x8 SSR Integrals with a 35mm offset. Actually he does, I just checked here.
Since I answered my first question, does anyone know where to get OZ Superleggeras in the racing Silver instead of Anthracite? I found one website, but they were in Europe. I can't find them over here.

Also would the anthracite look good on a Majestic Blue Max, or are they too dark?

I've never seen a Superleggera in any color but the anthracite. At least in the US. Racing Silver for that wheel may be a European market only thing. Check out OZ's web site. How it would go with Majestic Blue would be in the eye of the beholder, but I think the red lettering on the center cap may clash a little. Just my $.02.

Whoo, that's nice. I've been a big fan of these wheels for a while now. The dark color we're used to seeing on them wouldn't have gone too well with my 3rd gen though. It is still on my short list for my Sterling Mist 2K3. I like the fact that the center cap lettering doesn't have a color like red, yellow or blue. I wish we could get them like that over here. Wouldn't have to spend a fortune on Volks.

When you first enter performance alloys.com you can select a USA version of the site. The price for the silver are about what you see for Superleggeras here, and they have free ground shipping. Who know, maybe we can get them.

Wish I had the money laying around for a set of them. We could've asked them what it would take to import us two sets of those babies!

If you select the USA version of their site, they have prices in dollars, not pounds or euros. The price listed for both the silver and anthracite in 18x8's is $1399. ~$350 a wheel, which close to the best price I could find here for the anthracite. In addition they have FREE shipping to the USA. In reality, them being in the UK has no impact, except they won't ship any "tyres" because of the high cost of shipping.
