ok, 1st of all hi to everyone wink1.gif
it's a lot of time since my last post, and now i'm back to ask your opinion again about alloy wheels.
*IF* everything goeas right, I think i'm close to get my new wheels:
OZ RACING (Made in Italy fing02.gif )
ULTRALEGGERA 7Jx17 (ET40 i guess) with 205/40R17 (Michelin/Bridgestone, it depends on the final price)
weight (without tire) about 7.2 Kilos
avaiable in "crystal titanium" (a strange way for a more polished silver)
and GOLD
...sorry for the quick and sad cut/past work.. but it's only for get an idea on my car..
do you think the GOLD is so bad ?
p.s. ULTRALEGGERA is the new model of the "old" SUPERLEGGERA model. The lightest 17" alloy wheels ever found here. a little bit different from the old model by a more "extended" spokes/arms to the external side.. but i guess you knew it!
see you! wink1.gif

ok. understood.
i'll go for the Silver tongue.gif
the main problem here is finding a model with the right pattern (4*114.3) for a 17" wheel.
it's a little bit difficult because 17" wheels are more easily produced for a 5 bolts pattern...

I don't usually like gold rims but I actually thought they looked alright on your car... a bit like an STi.
Anyway, the "Ultraleggeras" are very nice... 7.2kg isn't that light though. Mine weigh 7kg & they're just cheapo BSA rims.
Also, I would strongly recommend 215/40-17 tyres, if you can get them for a decent price.

silver just because it won't get old. definitely a good choice rim, however man last time i called for superturismos they cost $250 per ONE rim without shipping! It's truly sad, but it's their profit because a lot of european tuners buy this rim no matter what the cost as it's used for not only rallying but touring cars as well.

GOLD!!! looks best!
In real life, it looks different, much more like bronze.... Many of my friends have these in Israel on WRX's.
Deffinately look on it in real life and not pics, it looks much better!
