Calling all O.Z. Wheels ☼

I think this is the only group left to not have one of these threads.
Though italian wheels on a japanese car is odd... I love em.

Ultraleggera 18x8 +48, carbon fiber center caps, weight ~18.6lbs, Black.

Yes my tires are too small, but they were free so im using them. Yoko S-drives - Terrible, I miss my potenza S-03s. Going to go back to Re01s after these.

^They look very nice. Ivory8 had some before he got in a wreck. Now he has black Enkei RPF1's.

Here are pics of his car.

It's at the Little Creek Amphibious naval base in the Virginia Beach/Newport News area. It's a concrete pad that goes all the way into the ocean. We stay about 50-75ft away.

Here's another one of my favorites from this season. My co-driver tricycling the car into the finish at the DC Pro Solo (he was 2nd in class, ~0.1 out of 1st)

I liked the way the silver looked with the copper red. Picks up the color from the front/rear rotary emblems and headlights pretty nice:

black ultraleggeras are by far the best looking wheels on a sport car. O.Z. should consider making them in 19 inches.
