Default OZ Superleggera

Ok, initiall my first choice of rims were going to be Volk Racing MEs. But after a bit of searching ( pics included), I decided to choose something else. So the OZ Supperleggera 3 caught my eye. I havent seen one on a 250/350, so I photoshopped one onto a Starfire Pearl IS.

What do you guys think?



Yay? or Nay?

The color of the rim was darkened to look better (think of it as gunmetal).

I know its a personal choice, just wondering what you guys think.

Pretty common and no aggressiveness! Sorry not for me. Stock 17 inch oem wheels looks better.

19X8.5 and 19X10.
Couldn't be more pleased with them, and yes, expensive, but even better quality than my BBS LMs on my previous car.

Not enough "bling" for many enthusiasts, but you won't buy a better rim.

Actually the 10" rear's (ET 53) edge extends about 16mm more out (and 22mm more in) than the stock wheel.
The 8.5" front's (ET 46) edge extends about 5mm more out (and 7mm more in) than the stock wheel.

I've only got 2100 miles on the car, but will shortly be installing the JIC Coilovers here in the garage and making some precise measurements for hub/wheel centric spacers.
