Ahhh, finally. How's the handling? What's the offset?

 

Yeah I know it took long enough to get them. They look great and the handling is good. I do notice a little tramlining but only where the roads are bad from trucks creating grooves. Also when going quick round roundabouts the back end feels like it wants to step out sometimes. I think if I track the car at all the standard wheels would go back on, they seem a tad more reassuring but I really cant see that in the near future.

 

Wheels look good, is that stock suspension?

 

car looks very nice not just because its a 97r but the wheels look good too

 

Yeah, it won't feel as reassuring as stock if the offset is too far from the stock value...

 

Yep suspension is stock the offset is +42

What's the tire size? It looks bigger than stock....

 

Too bad the Superledderas don't come in 16 inch. You feel any slower acceleration with the 17inchers? How does the brakes feel, usualy with a heavier rim/tire combo, breaking is a bit harder.

Looks nice.

 

they are 205/17/40, they look bigger but the rolling radius is about the same. They looked the same size when I offered up a stock rim/tyre in front of the new wheels

 

y0, diameter is 595.8mm, hehe, like stock is

 

Did you put them on a scale (weight)? including tires? And stock?

 

Wheel =
Ride Height =

 

Thanks.
The superleggeras do come in 16 but have not got the correct bolt pattern. Not sure if they do the 16 with the correct partern for the 5 lug. I have noticed any real difference in the brakes they seem about the same. The wheels are about 3 pounds more than stock

 

Havent offically weighed them yet. I will have to do that at the next service. O.Z claim they are 15 pound

 

You mean you haven't notice, right? In that case, they are very good!!! Only 3 lbs more than stock? Wow!!!

 

17" superlegerras weigh something like 15.6lbs, which is very close to stock ITR rim weight

 

Yeah my bad on the spelling, not my best point. I think it has the weight of the rims stamped on the rims. I will check when I leave work.

MiGs I agree with you on the ride height, but if I want to lower it I reakon I will have to get the rear arches rolled because the tyres might rub a bit. Either way it would be tight

 

THey look great

 

Its still a dope lookin car

 

But the rotational mass is more far away than on 15inchers. MY friend has 8x17 Superleggers and OZ claims 15.6 pounds, but we weighted 19 pounds on 2 different scales. WTF!!!! We called OZ Germany and told the tech-guy this. Side NOTE: OZ claims the 8x18 for 18.5 pounds. I say BS!!!!!!

also, we Euro people do not get official any Superleggera in 5x114.3 and the sales man told me, no 16 inch Superleggera for all PCDs

 

nice... how would white look on that car.. but i like those rims..

 

Ditto.
