Default 18" OZ Superleggera review

Well, I just put them on, with goodyear F1 tires and WOW!

First of all....NO RUB OF ANY KIND, ON ANY WHEEL, AT ANY POSITION, AT ANY SPEED.

Fitment is perfect, ride is better than stock. Car IS NOT SLOWER! Speedo is .01 mph off (gps verified)

Front wheel/tires weigh the same as stock to the 10th (with air) 37.3lbs
Rears are heavier than stock (with air and a 255 back there) by 1.5lbs

Ride is amazing on these tires, MUCH smoother, steering is still crisp, and you can feel everything you run over.

Looks great, Tirerack service (Jim) was second to none (inlcuding their balancing services...neat as hell)

For anyone who wants 18s, but scared to lose performance, I highly recommend these.

Here are pics as promised. Car is on a slant....there is only about a 2 finger gap, if that, between the tires and fender (front and back.) Also, pictures are grainy because s2ki shrinks them down, so click on them twice to get a nice clear shot! Tell me what you think!
