I'm getting new wheels and need help selecting which wheel to go with. both will have the same set up 18x8.5 F and 18x10 R. They are both three piece wheels but the superleggera is lighter and also about 15% more expensive

 

I like the first set with the 6 spokes...

 

Galileo III: front offset is good at +46, rear offset is low at +40, you'll be restricted to 265/35 18 unless you roll the rear fenders. 3-piece cast wheels are typically very heavy -- usually 30+ lbs each in those sizes

Superleggera III: front offset is unknown, widest rear is 18x9 +30 offset which is VERY low. These wheels are fairly light but not wide enough.

I wouldn't get either. For the price of Superleggera ($1500/set), there are other good looking wheels that are lighter and wider. When you get up into the Galileo III range (over $600/wheel), you are talking Volks, top of the line SSRs, lightly used HRE or Kinesis or Fikse, nicely decked out CCW wheels, etc.

 

Put one set on one side of the car and the other set on the other side. You can't see both sides at the same time. lo

I like the 6 spokes though

 

I looked at both on the Tire Rack simulator. . .thought the Galileo looked better

 

i can have the superleggera III made with a ET of +40 18x10 which puts me into rolling the fenders.....not a big worry since i have 19x9.5 C5's on there now.

thanks for the imput

 

i am leaning toward them also, both of them are due in at the end of May, thats when i have to make my selection

I have seen the superleggera in person but not the galileo! we'll see
