Sparco Pro Corsa Wheel
Hello everyone!
I was wondering what the general consensus of Sparco Wheels are? I know they are cast, but they are made by O.Z. and they carry a decent reputation. I have been in the market for a mesh style wheel along the style of the Enkei Raijins and was looking for some input on how it compares to the Sparco Pro Corsa. As far as I can tell these are brand new and tire rack won't be shipping them until March. No one else even has them listed... Also, if the weights are comparable in 18x8, i might pull the trigger on the sparcos as they are about 200 dollars cheaper, and i like the look of both wheels equally. just really looking for some input here.

My only issue with my sparco assettos is the offsets available. At +48 it's already to high. Add my track based camber and I need spacers to set in a decent spot

Sparco wheels are good. They ARE made by OZ. they use some sort of casting that gives light weight (not super light, but good) and low cost. I'm a big fan.
I had the assettos on my previous whip, a MKV Gti. They were a bit lighter than stock wheels, looked nice and didn't cost a fortune. The paint finish wasn't the strongest - seemed like they put juuuust enough to cover and no more. That's my only gripe, but for 118 each or whatever it was, I'd buy them again. I am looking at these pro corsa wheels now. I always wanted a good priced mesh-style wheel on every other car as well as this one. If the weight for 17x7 is under stock weight, I'm in. Though I may wait until next year - I bought the assettos the first year they were out in matte black, and the next year there were a ton of colors added. I really want these corsas in glossy gunmetal!! |
