These one piece, cast thin spoke alloys are making the uber trick, 3 piece CCW/Bogart/Kodiak type stuff totally redundant...
The new OZ is a very nice looking and impressive wheel, for sure. Enkei also has this shnizzit down cold, the TR Motorsport wheels (made by Enkei) I got from Chris are very good the RPF1 is just a classic design, imho.
The only question I have is strength, but I've yet to see any failure of the Ultraleggera, RPF1 etc. so maybe its all good.

A few years ago, a buddy of mine had an off at MotorSport Ranch in my old Miata, which had a set of RP-F1s mounted at the time. Here's a link to a description of the incident and pictures of the damage. I was impressed with how well they held up.

The offset is 48mm, we have the Titantium Tech finish now in stock. Alternate colors can be ordered through the OZ Colours Project on an as needed basis.
Additonal information can be found here: http://www.ozracing.com/at-team/colours-project/en
Approximately 60 day turnaround time and the cost is just $25 additional per wheel for the factory warrantied semi-custom finish.

Awesome - glad you guys/gals will all be back. Hopefully, I can get a local competitor in the DC region to drive my car in BSL. We'll see...

It's not uncommon for a given wheel part number to vary in weight by +/- 2% or so. Paint coverage, slight machining differences and rounding to the tenth all contribute to the differences. We weigh one example of each new part number when it arrives, so the variance is not a surprise.

Chris, thanks for the quick response! You have to love a company that lets you sort the wheels by weight!
So can you pick me out a nice matched set at 17.0lbs./or less of the same color?
Kinda like the old days where the Ford, Chrysler and GM would not balance and blueprint a stock motor, they would just pick out parts that were darn close.

I have been hording all the -2% wheels in a dark corner of the warehouse and sending all the +2% wheels to B-stock competitors
