Bob! Those wheels look great! Very good choice. The ride height on the suspension looks perfect! We need to go for a rip before the snow flies.

Looks great!

I noticed the same thing a while back when my friend got X73 + 19" Champion wheels with MPS2s installed on his car, his car rode way better than mine did with X73 + stock wheels & Conti SportContact 2s.

Any rubbing with the 12s and 315s in the back?

I like your lowering, though ideally I'd go lower, but that aerokit would be pummeled by any sort of driveway with an incline.

Q8, the wheels are heavier than the stock hollow spoke 18’s, and certainly heavier than racing wheel spec. Should be some info on the TireRack site, which also has their prices. Oz’s as a brand, seem to be well priced.

Smoothcab, you’re right, it changes the overall presence. With a mild lowering from the X73, and the wider rims/rubber, the car now looks more purposeful. Imho, the 6-spoke pairs gives it a strong modular and open, but not too flashy look.
Allan, I don’t mind seeing these oz wheels on other P-cars. Any more out there?
I'm not so sure the OZ 3s weigh that much more if any than the hollow spoke 18s. I know the 19x12s are at around 26 pounds.

FYI on the 3s, they're fully forged and i believe they're forged in the same plant in Japan as the BBS LMs, RGRs, etc. top drawer.

The quality is unreal and these also don't vibrate in the rain even with the flat lip.

as you can tell i'm a huge fan of these. Ruf didn't pick them for their ride because they just randomly decided to pick them out of the huge line-up.

here are some *very* old pics of my car w/ the black... the color is not your typical silver, it's lamborghini titanium something or another.
