I love those Alleggerita HLT rims - look at this for one minute

then grab your credit card and order two sets of those wheels - one set for you, the other for me.

I have been looking also at some OZ wheels in the 19inch variation but I'm trying to find out the greatest width that will fit without any clearance issues. I like the OZ and very well may go that route:

also been looking at Work Emotion CR-Kai's, but Work said the custom bolt pattern would take 6 months to get. so now i'm looking at Work VS-MS in matte black:

yeah i know what you mean, i don't want to spend as much as a car on wheels and tires but we don't really have too many options in the way of a super lightweigt wheel/tire setup cause of our funky 5x110. i want a second set of wheels and i'm gonna mount bridgestone re-11's on them for "spirited driving" sessions and keep my stock wheels with a higher mileage tire, michellin pilot sport a/s for regular driving.

Bart those wheels look great, and with the extra 1/2" you can put 255x40 to get the same height but more tread.Your car has too much power for cheep tires I know it's painful but you will love it with ultra performance rubbers. I was told that the Brembos only stop a couple feet better do you have the red pads on it and still want more stop ? Or they look cooler?

Im running sum autozone pads the best ones they had. So you guys really think i should get the OZs? The other rims i picked i like too and im gonna wrap them in Nitto 555s 245/40/18. And the Brembos will help me out cus i drive like an ******* sometimes and they dont fade like the stock brakes do you know.
