2007 GT3: The Plight/Journey of the O.Z. Ultraleggeras
I purchased a set of ADV1s for my 2007 GT3 about 2 months ago for street wheels, but they will be arriving in end of may.

2 weeks ago I found a set of barely used (2 track days) 19" black O.Z. Ultraleggeras that 6speed member 6776 from texas was selling.

I always loved these O.Z. Ultralegerras since a-workx http://www.a-workx.com/strassensport...he-tuning.html used these on their porsches.

I purchased these and they arrived last moonday.








I then took them to my powdercoater at POWDERCOAT-IT in Sacramento, CA.

Mike, Steve, and Chris took care of me and were able to strip the wheels of the black paint and powdercoat them in RED.







Took delivery of the wheels last friday..... and went to my my tire shop - RADIAL TIRE OF SACRAMENTO (the MICHELIN distributor for the Sacramento area) and shod some Michelin Super Sports.







With wheels on




Not a big graphics guy, but just wanted to experiment.

Got the side graphics from Kyle at K1 studios - www.porschestripes.com

Here's the final outcome:







---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Last on the exterior mods are painted side mirrors in guards red and RS wing.

So should I keep the side graphics, or take them off?

Thanx for your opinion.

Agreed. The wheels in that red look great! Wonder if that would look good if I did my Carrera Sport wheels in the same color...

Tastefully done I like the red rims and graphics offset against white. You're not painting the RS wing red though right? That might be overkill

Very nice contrast! I think the graphics make the car. Keep it as is.

Wheels without the graphics weren't working for me - the graphics tied it all together.

I like it better without the graphics. I would also put spacers on as the wheels do not look flush enough for me. What offset OZ'a did you get?
