Anyone running OZ Superleggera wheels on their thrid gen?

I went to tirerack.com and they look really sharp on the fit-the-car javascript page they got. Any body got pictures of them on their car? I did e-mail OZ and they don't have a 17x9 that fits third gens, only 17x8, 18x8 and 18x9. Maybe get 17x8s all round and run 225/45 front and 255/40 rear?

I distribute for OZ from three different sources. If you want the hookup, I know you do, I can do it. I'll beat the rack's price for you. I've been waiting for someone to use these on their FCor D. I will be doing an 18,9 and 17,8 combo for my FC probably. I haven't decided as yet. Possibly go Volk, but doubt it.

I have OZ's on all but two of my vehicles, that's like 5 different sets of OZ's on applications. I love them. The leggerra's are pretty damn light though. Not forged, it is cast. The 19's are forged, but a special order item.

Don't run a 255 on the 8", it will balloon. I suggest you stagger the height front and rear. You will be fine. It will work great.

17,8 = 235/45/17
18,9 = 265/35/18

That's the setup to do with the leggera's. Otherwise I would suggest a different rim. If you are going to use the same width rim front and rear, you might as well use the same tire size. The car will have better predictability and rotatable.

Good luck,
Rishie

I have ordered a set of 9*18" ET35 for my car, I will go with 9" front and back, My last wheels were 8.5*18" ET 34 and it was space left in front and much in the rear. I will go with 235/40-18 Pirelli Pzero Corsa asymetrico front and rear for now.

I have played with paint shop a little, these are the grey ones but I have ordered silver.

I can't see any way in hell that you'll get a 18x9 +35 offset to fit up front. I have a tough time believing you got an 8.5 +34 offset to fit without catching the fender lip every 5 minutes.
