Today got my black Alleggerita 18s on. Had to ditch the 10mm rear spacers (Oettinger-procured, and they are top-notch, so those who want spacers - forget about the "they fall apart" scare and just buy quality stuff).
At the same time had two Michelin PS2 installed on the front. The rear tyres are Michelin PE2 and they have about 3mm thread left, so will change them soon as well (next week, most likely).
When I left the OZ Racing representative, who fitted the tyres and the wheels, I got the tyre pressure light. Not really sure what that means - does it mean my original MonzaII's had pressure sensors and OZ alloys don't or does it mean air pressure is off?
pics please!
Sorry, Phil, can't do!
Came yesterday night from vacation in Kos, 8 days of heaven. Stable weather, nice sea (Paradise Beach is fantastic!). Enjoyed riding quads and buggies, as well as jet ski.
Come back home and find an email in my inbox posted the same day, saying my alloys are here.
So today had to leave work earlier and go straight to OZ Racing representative here in Switzerland.
Unfortunately, the weather is sh*t (heavy rain) and it was pretty dark when I left the shop so no pictures were possible with my Nokia phone.
The alloys look very nice. They do not look any smaller than original MonzaII, as someone here on the forum was implying.
All four of my Alleggeritas weigh 8.035kg (17.714lb), according to Italian guy named Sergio (which is in fact what my name would be if translated from Russian into Italian
). So not the expected 7.8kg, and not 7.4kg according to some people on the forum here.
Now I am somewhat scared that somebody will steal the wheels (my car stands on the street at night, right under my bedroom windows), or someone will steal the carbonfiber centers, which cost 20CHF each (that is about 15 euro).
