I'm a huge fan of the Ultraleggera personally.


Me too.  One reason being mentioned above with the spokes running to the edge of the rim so it doesnt look smaller.


....The Ultra's are a couple of pounds heavier than the Leggy's though both weigh significantly less the Monza's.


much less than my ch's??

^^^^
Is what I think you are trying to ask. Where the [ /quote ] appears can bugger the whole thing! Easy to get wrong sometimes but write your reply after the last one you see.

HTH :happy2:

I dunno what CH's weigh? There are several options probably but I don't think they classify as a lightweight 'Race' wheel.

Ooops, didnt see that.

Am finding it tricky sourcing the OZ LeggyRita's - OZ UK are on permanent answerphone for 3 days and don't return calls and local OZ dealer doesn't seem to be capable of checking what I need (stuff like ET#) - The bloke seems indifferent.

Balance Motorsport? - Julian is always helpful. Anyone else for OZ that you know about, please? I want them ASAP and new not previously used!

I have a feeling that there isn't an actual OZ UK as such.. Try speaking to Glenn at Revolution 24/7 and mention that I put you there way and they should be able to sort you out mate

  You may have to wait a bit for them as the whole of Italy seems to close for a month's holiday in August.  :fighting:

To fit my F1 Assym tyres 225/40R18, am I looking for 18x7.5 or 18x8 ?

And if the Monza 18's fit my AP brakes at ET51, then I guess that Leggy's at ET48 will be fine.

I had some OZ's on my previous car from Motorsport Wheels UK. I dealt with the Gloucester branch (01452 376 540) but they do have several others around the country. The reason I mention them is that I had a problem with the bolts supplied with the wheels which wasn't actually their fault (I couldn't fit my wheel brace onto the nuts supplied in the holes in the wheels) and they sent me a set of internal drive nuts and an internal drive nut key next day delivery and all FOC. They were also very knowledgeable on the phone in terms of providing details of ET, weight etc prior to my order and were also well priced.

For me their post purchase survice (often rubbish with many companies) means that they would get my business again. Their website is crap though!

....9mm sounds a lot. I'm already fairly close but without arch rubbing.

Would my 225/40R18 tyres fit on 18x7.5 better for this 9mm factor? :smiley:

....Er, probably on my way to VWR - Phil has told me my louder zorst section is booked for manufacture on 28th August, so the week beginning 31st. But I may have another VWR visit during September before The Ring and would hope to be wearing the LeggyRita's as I pass Oxford and keep on driving without stopping! :evilgrin: :wink:

It would mean you'd be 3mm further out than originally with the MonzaII's. :happy2:
