Priced me up some wheels...
« on: November 02, 2013, 08:17:55 pm »
So I did some research into some OZ Superleggera's. I had NO idea they were that expensive.



That's pretty much what my car is worth! Bloody hell.

Couldn't want them any more now  :P

19s = top dollar!

Those are splits though? 1 piece are cheaper.

Also ultraleggera or allegerita are nicer.

As above. I'd also add the Superturismo wheels to the other 2 as well. You should be able to get some OZ 19's and some top notch rubber for less than £2k.

I'm trying to convince myself NOT to buy some 19" OZ or BBS wheels at the mo', so far my sensible self is winning.

Haha. It was more a curiosity. It's a crazy price. I know it's not the same, but was thinking some Cades Berns. Less than a third of the price with rubber.
