OZ wheel feeler

I am thinking about selling my OZ Ultraleggera's. They are 18X8 +48mm and 18.4lbs and bright silver. BS legal and about the only light thing out there you can buy off the shelf. I have been using them as street wheels and they are a pain to keep clean. Tirerack has these for $325 ea right now. I am thinking like $900 + shipping for the set, there are a few paint chips but no curb rash at all. Any autocrossers interested?

I will decide for sure in the next few days and I will post pics if I decide to sell.

Because I have perfectly good stock pads that stop the car just fine. I am going to look at some wheels tomorrow. Thinking about the Rota P45F, cheap copy of the Mazdaspeed wheel.

I think these might work for my stepdad's new Altima.

I already sent him the info and I'll let you know if he wants to pick them up.

It will be a while before I sell them. Found out I can only get a gold P45 right now.

I looked at subydude's site and it showed he had the gunmetals 18x8 w/ 73mm hubcenter. Personally I would like to get the royal blues for my winning blue.

I talked to them and a local dealer and all they have in stock 18X8 +48mm with 73 hub is gold. They had them in gunmetal and blue but I guess they are gone, they will get them again.

What's wrong with gold? It would match the chains and other jewelry you have left over from your Corvette days...

My Corvette days started in my teens and were over by 30... I could barley afford the car, no gold for me.

However I bet Mr.Midlife crisis Z06 owner has some. To bad the Z06 did not give you your fix and rewind the clock enough, so you bought some rice.

btw has the daughter you said you bought the car to share with even driven it yet?

I've yet to have a mid-life crisis...as I refuse to grow up. I'm now past 40 and still, according to my wife, act like I'm 18

My daughter has yet to get her license...the deal is, no grade lower than a B- and she's struggling in French III. I may cut her some slack, it's not like I was any magna *** laude student, myself. I did offer to teach her to drive it Sunday afternoon, IF she helped get the decals off and wash/wax, but she flaked on me...16 year olds are pretty dang worthless, God bless them

She'll pick it up quick, she's been riding dirt bikes since she was 11 or 12.

I didn't know you got your Corvette so young...sound like Braun. Matthew bought his C4 right out of college (maybe in college?) and still has it.

And if someone did not order custom 18X10.5 wheels for an STU car you could have that ring.

I have a bunch of rings actually, that are kept safe in the garage & the storage facility. Some have 'Kumho' imprinted on them, others have 'Yokohama', oh, there's a bunch of metal ones in a variety of sizes also.

Good thing there are no pistons, so there aren't those rings to get in the way too...

Congrats, guys!
