O.Z. Palladio 19" anyone?

Every time the current TireRack banner pops up I fall in lust. Expensive, but really nice. I'm a 5-spoke believer and these are like virtual 5-spoke. I think they'd look great on my black cherry mica '05 Shinka. Anyone have them? Opinions welcome.

Yeah, the heft is a concern (along with the price). My other lust is completely in the other direction, the very light Enkei RPF1's (bright silver or SBC?).

The Price is too high...they are ugly, and they weight way too much. Definitally a bad decision. The Enkei RPF1's would definitally be alot better in every way (cheaper, lighter, and look better) If you like O.Z. check out the Ultraleggera's, there only 18.4 lbs, and they look very nice.

I'd like to think they would look good on a black cherry mica but the weight makes me cringe.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems most don't like these OZ's, except for my Italian friend

I've actually been leaning towards the Enkei's a lot longer.

The OZ's are expensive, but then one piece low pressure cast (vs. gravity, et al).

The 19" closeout price is actually pretty good.
