normally I'd be all, "you could use a wider rim out back" or "get an inch drop" but this setup somehow looks good as is

Oh yeah, that looks good

I am so in love with the profile shape. Its how a tasteful sports car needs to look. I'll take a low-slung GT sports car shape any day over muscle car profile.

Looks great, IMO. I'm seriously waffling on wheel size here. I love the look of the 18s but keep going back to stock 17x7 for performance reasons. I'm not overly disturbed by the wheel gap, but these just look... awesome.

JohnATL · 07-18-2012, 10:09 PM

I like. Gap doesn't bother me.

Yep but I still changed mine for other wheels.

By the way, as far as weight goes... The stock 16s on the yokohama tyres is about 16.7kg all up. The wheel is apparently about 7.2kg of this

I'm confused as well.

For the Ultraleggera, it's either bright silver (Crystal Titanium) which is avail now, or Matte Graphite which appears to be released in Sept.

Checked with a local distro and tire-rack.

Definitely doesn't look bright silver though. If that's anthracite maybe a few years old model?

Anthracite, brand new.

My iPhone and the lighting condition might account for the sheen (although the rims do bounce back light - they're not matte).

Thanks heaps for posting though! It's either these or the enkei gtc01's for me! I know these are a much better wheel though..... I'm surprised you found the steering more heavy too.

I was just thinking the same. I was wondering if it was already lowered or not. IMHO, it looks pretty good as is, but, of course, that all depends on the individual. Looks good man!

It's stock.

Will be getting a hair more 'low' when Race Comp Engineering come out with their Starter Kit (assuming I don't go to the Dark Side and go broke on some KW V3s or their JRZs).

Not going for a drastic drop - looks OK to me too, I just like to fine tune.

According to the OZ webpage, the options are Matt Graphite Silver and Crystal Titanium. On Tirerack, I see Matte Graphite Silver and Bright Silver. Hrmmmmmm....

Yep - and the only reason I'm curious is the antracite/matte graphite is the one I want, and told not till Sept. The bright silver is avail. I want the same color tone as the OP. :P
