Pic Request: Laser blue R56 on 18" Ultraleggera's
 
as the title states

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of OZ's

so i'd like to see a LB R56 S on 18" Silver ultraleggera's

if it's lowered on H&R's bonus

i'm sure it's been done before?

Thanks!

update:

well it appears no one has done it

so I thought i'd be the first after all:

incase this ever comes up in a search for others.. and they can't sift thru the giant show me your wheels thread i'll put it here also

I've been looking for 18's in silver but Tire Rack only has them in black. I have a BRG JCW and I want to stick with a light colored wheel. Where did you find yours and what tires brand/size did you go with? It really looks good~

thanks guys

mine are straight from OZ

I couldn't find 205/40/18 tires (tire rack lists 3 and 2 are RFT no thank u)

so I settled on 215/35/18's (WAY more selection in this size)

the diameter is slightly smaller and i was worried about excessive fender gap, but when i had the tired mounted side by side with the stockers.. it was alright... there's a diff between not a whole lot.. 4-5mm tops i'd say..

I too was contemplating black.. but felt the Silver complimented the Chrome line of the car better...

bear in mind the Blacks are +42 and the Silvers are +38 offset

i'm sure if u email Tirerack and tell them I want 18x7 +38 4x100 they'll have them.. sometimes the site isn't all that accurate

I have the 18x7 et42, the 18x7 et38 is no longer made.

+42's in silver?

I saw the build date on my wheels.. but I can't remember what they were now.. doh

Black only.

He also said via an email that the 18's are only available in black through tire rack.
