finally got rid of my runflats after 42,000miles and got my new wheels today, got O.Z. Allegriattas 16x7 +37 offset with continental 205/50/16 tires. to bad i cant mount them yet, tire rack did not have the hub centric rings in stock yet but should have them in this weekend!

 

I love OZ wheels. Between the weight loss on the new wheels and the new rubber around them, you will feel like you are driving a dramatically different car once they are mounted. There may be a silver lining with the delay in the hubcentric rings. Now you can give those wheels a nice coat of wax to help them stay nice and shiny.

 

yea i will be receiving the fourth one today, i only got 3 the other day, when tire rack was shipping them one of them got scratched so they had to ship a wheel out form another depot. with swapping out the rf's and the wheels i dropped about 8Lbs per wheel, just going to carry a spare with me, exsp since i do not have a back seat does not matter if space is taken up and what not.
i should have the hub rings soon! will post pics when they are mounted

 

One good looking wheel

 

THAT IT IS!

 

Sexy!!! I will have mine in Monday. I got mine in white and I got the 17s. I will post pics to show. Btw your rings should be there Monday also. OZ slow boated them from Italy for some reason. Why did you choose the 16s? Also don't forget to wax them before you put them on for a little bit of added protection

 

Great looking wheels. I went back and forth trying to decide between OZ or Enkei. I liked both so much, that I finally just flipped a coin and ended up with the enkei's

 

cant wait tos ee it on yr car

 

What Enkeis did you get?

 

The Enkei SC03's in Silver. Honestly, they are a bit "bright", I would have liked a Hyper Silver, but it was either this or chrome. Saying that, the colour works well with the hot orange paint. I did have a hard time though, deciding between the ones that MCS09 picked and the Enkei's.

Sorry MCS09, I didn't mean to hijack your thread

 

Ya I have the same OZs coming in Monday but they are in White.

 

i chose the 16's cause i like the way the 16's look on the car and plus round here in jersey potholes can be a *****, so i didnt want to go to large and to low of a tire, i mean im extremely carefull but even the parkway has pot holes that will engulf our cars and it sux! and there a little bit lighter than 17's also didnt feel like shelling out another 100 a wheel for a little bigger of a wheel already cost a decent amount for the wheels and tires. my rings will be here tommorrow so they will be mounted probably saterday. will post pics

 

Mount them yourself and save the bux. Its easy.

 

o i will be mounting myself lol, i dont trust alot of people to do things i like to stay handy! exsp the dealership they scuffed up my oem wheels when they changed my brakes out, the idiots layed the faces down when they took the wheels off they said it was not them but i was able to buff all the scuffs out.

 

Are they on yet I want pictures!!!

 

+1 for more pics

 

Those are the same wheels that I have been looking at for my MINI, but in the white painted.

Do the MINI centercaps fit in them?

 

Unfortunately we do not have any wheels that accept the OE center cap, sorry !

 

darn!

Are the OZ center caps on them flat? I could stick a vinyl decal over it?

 

They are a little convex, but I have heard of some guys having decals made out of vinyl that can "stretch" a little and end up being presentable.

 

i have not posted to this thread since i got my wheels but i want to thank alex from tire rack for his help, i have a great setup, how do i post pics?

 

here we go my wheels mounted!

 

I want pictures of your car! (Since I'm considering these in white..)

 

Thanks. Your pics finally made me make up my mind on which wheels to buy. Been going back and forth between the Alleggeritas and Ultraleggeras for awhile now. So now I'm gonna pick up the Alleggeritas in black and 16x7. Just have to decide now on the offset. +42 or +37? Any reason why you went with the +37 instead of +42 offset?

 

looks nice. how's the handling change?
