I think that they would look good on the Leggy neighbor! The pic on Tire Rack doesn't do them justice tho with the blue wagon. They would look alot better on the white!
Good wheels, a little more expensive than I like to be for a wheel that sees our crap surfaces around here, but a nice light wheel.
Great looking wheel, but should be for that price. I would have to divorce the wife if the took the car through the drive-thru with those curb magnets.
yep, very nice! I've always liked OZ wheels and they are very lightweight. 17 or 18? I would urge 17, but they are only 7.5" wide.
Good strong wheels. Finish is excellent and hold up to dings and chips very well. Running the oz crono ht on the lgt right now. Had the ultraleggeras and superleggeras in the past. Havent owned this model but wouldnt hesitate reccomending the brand.
I had a set of superleggeras on my a4 and loved them. that's why i went looking for another set of o.z.
I too always liked those rims..IMO if you're wanting every bit of "extra" performance don't buy the 18x7.5's get the 18x8's for a little extra wide rubber - worth the extra money to me since ur spending that kind of dough already. Than again, if you get the wider rims and tires u may have to worry about rubbing issues if you're lowered ? and the offset of the rims will also have an effect on whether this would cause an issue for ur ride...could roll ur fenders if ur rubbing too
At what point does the additional rotating mass (both in the wheel weight and the tire weight) outweigh the benefits of a slightly wider tire? How about the impact of sidewall rigidity when running that wider tire on the narrower wheel?
I can't answer that but I'd love to know the answer! Anyone have some sort of equation for something like this? Width and sidewall rigidity obviously impact handling capabilities and limitations. I'm not sure how you could measure the performance of a tire in conjunction with how "stretched" it is on a wheel and knowing just how wide or narrow one should choose to go before "gaining" or "losing "... when I start thinking real technical I immediately think that one can take this question/debate as far as they want and should start including many other factors as well- sidewall stiffness (as you mentioned), tread design, rubber compound, treadware and comfort preferences, application, etc ... and than of course after planning your tire/wheel choice one starts to think about alignment settings, suspension setup, etc., etc., and how those choices effect the performance of the tire/wheel you chose and vise versa. I would like to think that in MOST, NOT ALL situations, wider is better within reason! ...too tired this Monday mornging to think clearly - need
whatever size i go with, i don't want to have to roll the fenders or modify the body of the car in any way. I'm planning on doing a mild suspension drop on a shock/spring setup.
