When I was shopping for my aftermarket wheel, I was also deadlocked between OZ Ultraleg and the Enkei PF01. The PF01 was relatively new in the market at that time and haven't seen much in the road but I am glad I did because it is much better looking than I thought. Alex of Tirerack helped my decision and have no regrets at all.
OZ Ultraleg is also a nice wheel and has a timeless design, but you are right in saying that there is just too many already.

Is enkei pf01 shiny black or is it matted? It says black painted but its hard to tell from pics. Im still at Enkei pf01 or oz alleggerita hlt now.

Enkei has the stronger production method (MAT). OZ hands down offers the better finish. The OZ's are made very well no construction issues. I sit on the PF01 side cosmetically.

Definitely. Tirerack said they'll send it out Friday. But since I'm overseas, it may take up to two weeks. I'll post pics soon as I can.

The Enkei with MAT is stronger. The OZ is made well, and has an impeccable finish on it. Personal taste for me : PF01

Sorry this took a while... I'm overseas and tirerack got this to me in about a week.
These wheels are so light its crazy. But it doesnt really matter for me right now because my tires are still oem runflats... which are super heavy. Im gonna definitely get new tires next summer season.

R113

Why not the OEM R113 wheels?
Super strong, not too heavy and can fit a 225 tire in there with no rubbing!

Those black PF01 look great. Don't think I've ever seen them in that finish. Those R113 wheels are much heavier, 23lbs vs 15lbs. HUGE difference.
