This is the wheel I chose and ordered. (O.Z. Superleggera III) I decided to go for broke and bought the tires also. (Bridgestone Potenza RE050a Pole Position)

They come balanced and mounted at no cost which is better than me deciding to buy new set of tires, if I don't like the OEM runflats on the new wheels, and having to remount and rebalance again. The runflats are new and in storage, I guess I'll keep them until I decide what to do with them.

The front O.Z. wheels have a 1 1/2" lip with a 40mm offset and rear wheels have a 2" lip with a 45mm offset. These are 3 piece wheels with a forged center. They are Silver and 18" in size.

HERE IT GOES: I CAN'T WAIT.....

On that note some ass _ole tapped my rear bumper in Manhattan on saturday when the car was parked. I have a 1" long round dot indentation (a screw) with a gash.

Great rim choice , what colour and size?

I believe those were the first 1 piece superleggera wheels but I could be wrong. I don't mind I really like the wheel. The only regret I may have is that I did not go to 19's but I have my reasons.
