Which Wheels Should I Rock??? HELP
Ok well I have been on the same wheels for a bout 3 summers and I'm ready for something new. I have had this set of 15'in stock wheels which look nice on the car, but I wanna go to a 17'in. I have two wheels picked out, but can't decide on which one.

My first choice is the Type M but it weighs 19lbs. My current wheels weigh 17lbs. The second choice is OZ Ultraleggera thats only 15.5 lbs. This is a big difference in rotating mass between the two. My first choice is 2lbs more than the current wheel. And I upgraded fuel and ignition and I'm going from 370whp to roughly 460whp. I realy want a 16'in wheel but I can't get the tires I want to run in the size I need. I want to run NT01's and you an only get them in a 245/16. My other option is to stay with a 15'in wheel. If I did I would run RPF1's. So

So realy my problem is choosing between the look I want or the racer side of me that says go with the less rotating mass. The OZ's cost $200 more but thats not an issue. So money being aside which one??? Here is the car and wheels.




Tenzo Type M 17'in. 19.1lbs


OZ Ultraleggera 17'in. 15.5lbs

OZ's most definitely, the Tenzo's look too "thick"

If those are the only choices I would go for the OZs. No point in downgrading ya know? You might want to look around some more there are defiantly some really light really strong wheels out there right in your price range, and they come is that sexy black.

I can see why you're torn. None of them are a good look if you ask me. I can't stand the OZ Ultraleggera and the Type M looks okay in the picture but won't look at all like that in an offset that will fit, and it's 2 lbs. heavier. Not cool.


I vote for 15" 949 Racing 6UL wheels. They even come in black if you so insist.

Tenzo's only because the look of the car. 17's with 45's or 50' for the drop
