I'm looking into picking up some 18inch O.Z. Ultralegeras. The only color I can find them in is the matte black, and my 8 is Nordic Green. What is everyones' opinion on that. im scared if i went with the black then you wouldn't be able to see them at all since the car is already so dark. what do ya'll think?

I personally would not go that route. One possible option though is if you could highlight Your brake setup, it might not be bad at all. Colored calipers and slotted/drilled rotors might accent them enough so the black actually compliments the car. Just a thought.

thanks for the advice, what do you think about the graphite grey? that's what i was originally thinking but they dont have any in stock at the moment.

kevinande

I would prefer that over the black.

any idea where to buy them?

kevinande

No sir, not a clue. I guess if they are discontinued and you like the style that much, you may have to go with the black.

I found them in other colors on tirerack.com.

Black would look great IMO. My buddy has a stormy blue 8 with black ultraleggeras, and it looks awesome.

i have those black OZ's - my only advice is that with black wheels it makes a big difference how the tires themselves look. you wouldnt think so, but it makes a HUGE difference to have a little tire shine on them. because tires themselves are really gray, not black, and they contrast quite a bit.

Stormy blue is one of those colours that can pull off any wheel colour in my opinion. Must better than my velocity red can...

But my vote is against black. Green on black wouldn't look the greatest in my opinion. A dark, graphite would look great though!

I agree, i have been searching around looking for a gunmetal rpf1, no luck yet. only found black and silver. might just go with silver and get them painted. not sure yet. i got time to figure it out thou.

SBC = "Special Brilliant Coating." It's a polished wheel with clear coat, not chrome.
