OZ Ultraleggera vs Enkei PF01

Help me decide which wheel and why? 17" x 8"

I was in the same boat as you.

Both are lighter than stock.

Ended up with OZ since I had RPF1s in a past life

Edit: realized you said PF01, carry on

OZs for the simple reason that they look a lot sharper.

OZ, I like lots of thin spokes.

I have OZ Ultraleggeras - both on this car and on my previous Golf R32.


Light, strong, good looking. More expensive than the Enkeis (here anyway).


On the R32 I hit a lump of 4x2 on the highway at night (100+ KMH) slight bend in the rim was the only damage (no air loss, no cracks).


I'm not comparing them to anything else just that I appreciate the confidence that they do the job.

Let's see:

OZ Ultraleggera $275 17.0# 12 spokes to clean; and,
Enkei Race PF01 $279 17.3# 10 spokes to clean.

I like them equally for looks, and would probably choose the PF01s just because they have fewer spokes to clean. If cleaning wasn't an issue, I'd go for the Ultraleggeras to save a few dollars and a little over a pound in weight. Trade-offs, trade-offs!

Ordered the OZ's!

Sucks tirerack doesn't have the hankook rs3 in 235/40/17. So I got the direzza z2 instead.

Got my wheels in! I'm in love. Just need to do the satin black roof to match.

Looking real sharp! Some spacers and it would be perfect.
