Thanks for the opinions, keep 'em coming.
I'm not positive how much they weigh, the UPS data said 44lbs. but that was with cardboard and strapping. I would say that the wheels weigh between 15 and 19? Just not sure. They're not as heavy as the OZ F1's, but I don't thing they're quite as light as the Superleggera's. Hopefully I can Zaino them this week and will put one on a scale to verify.
>>Shaun G, Do you have the Baer brakes? They would look absolutely stunning behind these wheels IMO; fit for a car destined for many laps through the twisties! Check out many of the prototype's running ALMS and Grand-AM, they run this design OZ. Rolex 24 class winner's Archangel racing use it IIRC.
>>SVTCole, won't have new event rubber yet, have to get the goody out of 7 KDW's first! Yes, the pictures are taken out at the farm in North Alabama, the background in the first pic is one of the ponds.

nick That's because they're the same wheels, only the Lancer's are smaller. That's where they get the "OZ Edition" part from. They really highlight the Lancer's rear drum brakes too! :rolleyes: Looks good on a Contour in +1 size. I'm partial to the Anthracite Superleggeras myself.

I like things to look kinda "factory" but with a twist and those fill the bill for me  They might cost a bit more but who cares, quality ALWAYS costs and thats ok  Nice choice and I bet they look even bette in person too!

Straight on they look almost like E1's, but from an angle you can see the offset of the spokes, the depressed center section, and the lip around the rim. You could call it "understated sportiness" just like what they're mounted to.
