What do you think?!

To all,

I just purchased these O.Z. Ultraleggra on impulse. They're Matte Graphite Silver, 16x7 with 37mm offset, and weigh in at 15lbs. They come with some DOT Competition Compound YOKOHAMA ADVAN A048 225/45/16.



This is what it should look like on the 2012:



I wanted to get the Tein Basis Coilovers first but... impulse killed that.

What do you think?!?!

I really like the design. They actually remind me of eTimago's white wheels (17" he had on before) and I liked those a lot too. Something about this design really rocks. How much did those set you back?

(BTW, hello from San Francisco)

Thanks for all of the input. I really appreciate it. Will get pix up when I have them on!

Wheels and tyres were $725 shipped. The tyres have really low life left....

Hello from San Jose!!

Wicked. I'd hit it.

Thems some sticky tires. Are you planning on track days or autocrossing?

Nah, no racing. It comes with the wheels. I just wanted the rims. The guy I bought it from says he tracked them. Looks basically new so I went for it and bought it.

Yeah, I've had two sets now that I've bought or traded and changed out the tires. My Mini wheels came with God awful run flats, but Lord they were sticky. Heard pebbles all the time.

Cheaper than buying new though.

So how much should I sell my OEM 16x6 wheels for? I'm probably gonna take the tmps and sell the tires with the wheels... all have about 800 miles on them.

215/55/16 are huge tires, stick to 195/50/16, 205/45/16, or if you really want 215mm wide - 215/45/16.

But to your question, with the tires I mentioned above and the offset of your wheels, no problems when lowering 1".

With 16 x 7, ET37 and 1" drop, I'd run 195/50/16's.

Aw.. That's what I'm running on now with the stock oem rims... Wanted to go 215/45/16 but I'm pretty sure it'll rub, would 205/50/16 work? I want a slightly wider track.
