Wheel Directory: OZ Ultraleggera 18x8.0 +48




As the title states, these are 18x8 O.Z. Ultraleggeras in black wrapped in 245/35 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's. I've actually had these shoes for awhile. My tC was wearing them up until I realized both cars shared the same bolt pattern and offset. (Yesterday)

Even with this much rubber, they still managed to weigh 1.2lbs less per wheel than the stock setup.

They look amazing however, this is a bit wider than I'm willing to go...at least up front. Not at these power levels. (The tC puts down something like ~230whp and I was having major traction issues up front before going with the 245s) This car just doesn't feel right with that much rubber up front. Plus g-forces are loud as F**k. It wasn't as noticable on the tC but apparently this car has alot less sound deadening material between the wheel wells and me. I would not reccommend picking up a set of these.

I've got a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE760s on order in 225/40 that should quiet things down a bit plus bring back the feel I'm looking for.

Looks great! I notice that you have mud flaps. I assume these are the OEM Toyota items?

I like the way they look...any drilling to mount? I have a little concern that the part that comes around the body panel might rub on the paint and after time with dirt getting into the space between the flap and paint.

Maybe closer pics?

Thanks!

No rubbing.

I don't believe drilling was involved. They were a dealer added option when I picked the vehicle up. Along with window tint

Very very VERY nice rims.. just don't curb them... they tend to break easily...

I'm not 100% on the gold tho.. I know it's the whole OZ thing.. but maybe black powder coat?
