They're not offered in wide enough sizes...8-inches wide is what our stock wheels are...

Don't waste your money. Get at least 8.5 inches wide for the fronts and 9.5 to 10 inches wide in back.

It's the not short sidewalls that matter, it's the tire width!

Don't let style drive your wheel choice. Let performance potential be your guide!

I agree with Manuelo up above. Also, don't superleggera weigh a damn ton?

The leggerras, sp?, are actually the light ones of the OZ lineup. It is a cast wheel however. OZ's claim to the import market. As opposed to heavy cast wheels previously.

They only come 8 and 9. It's possible that OZ's are easier to attain in Puerto Rico as well. Do they have a lot of JDM wheels over there mendizabal?

As for pics, the best I can do is tirerack.com. Which I'm sure you've done.

They do make the multipiece one now which is forged in certain sizes. Check that out. Call OZ in Miami.

Thanks Richie,

Yes we have a few here. I saw the 3 piece you are telling me but they are way to expensive! I really dont know what wheels to put in my car. I saw and NSX today with the leggeras and I really did not like it.

I am not planning to spend more that $2,000 in wheels for my car, any ideas?

Thanks
mendi

Ideas would be the Gram light pro. It's a two piece forged welded wheel. This wheel I am offering killer pricing on right now. I'll see if there's a method in which I can get them to you cheaply.

Please provide me with your shipping information. Here's a picture:





Let me know what you think. I'm sure I can get these shipped to you for $2000.00 wheels alone.

thanks, Rishie

USPS is the best way to ship to and from PR.

I had 17 x 8's Super-L's on my 91 TII....great light wheel, unfortunately I wasn't hooking up with a 245 tyre and sold the OZ wheels inplace of the Enkei RPF1's (17 x 9.5)

the 3 piece are spendy....I called OZ USA and they wider sizes in DTM country but not here...don't know why, but they should
