Are those the Lowenhart rims in your sig, or OZ Superleggera's? Either way, I love that wheel style.

I just got these Superleggeras in today... 17.4 lbs vs. my 28+ lb Lowenharts... I gain both acceleration and braking performance back... can't say it's a good cost/performance value though.

Look forward to seeing pics of these rims on your car

PS- I have 17x7.5" rims coming in next week... 40 offset+ 5mm spacers for my big brakes (hopefully that'll clear). What offset did you go with?

OH really some new rims for you!!

Is it what we talked about?

Chunger the OZ rims are nice looking. More and more people are jumping on those OZ.

Give us some pics when mounted.

These 18X8 with 35mm offset still clear the Wilwoods with plenty to spare... If you got the same rims you can get the 17X8 at 40mm and they should still clear.

Dave, I really do like the Lowenharts better but don't care much for their weight... time to 'recycler' them.

Shes got AP brakes, so who knows what clears

Yah, I understand about the Lowenharts. You should be gettin money back on this deal tho, hopefully

My dumbazz is still in school, and ppl have hit my car, stole from it, n crap like that. So i wont be buying an truly nice set of wheels till later. (same goes with my paint job)

That looks really sweet. A good angle to shoot the rim is from the front looking back, with the wheel turned slightly towards the side you are shooting imho.

I think I'm a real fatso because my shipping label on each 18x8 with tire was 58 lbs!!!!!! I didn't think to weigh them and they're on the car now. My stocks were 41 lbs. OUCH!
