Test fitted 18x8 45et O.Z. Ultraleggera Wheel, no tire, only checking wheel clearances. Front wheel to strut = Barely 5mm clearance (factory 6mm) JCW pro strut dia at flat section = 48.11mm Front wheel spokes to Brembo = 3mm (factory 5mm) There's plenty of clearance from the brake pad clip to the inside of the rim for a wheel weight, well over 10mm. Wheel weight 18.8 lbs.for an 18x8 wheel. poke 5mm barely 3mm to caliper not convinced

Reason: typo
They look dazzling! A speedy expression of caution however - you WILL 100 percent get curve rub assuming you bring down that. I'm approx 30mm lower on KW Road Solace coilovers - with 8J x 17" ET45 wheels and I can accommodate 215x45's to stay away from rub.

Car's dropped 10mm (probably settled since tho) with 215/40-18, haven't had any rubbing but I never have anything or anyone in the back seat or trunk/hatch.
Was going to post about this:
The Black Ultraleggera's are dirt/brake dust magnets, I just noticed looking at the test fit photo there's dirt clinging to them out of the box. Chemical guys store told me to clean with Diablo wheel cleaner and then coat with Jet Seal Matte. I tested in non-conspicuous area, might have helped for a week.

Any more pics of your JCW with those OZ's mounted up?
