O.Z. Ultraleggera Wheels?

Has anyone got any of the O.Z. wheels on there SS/SC Cobalt? The ones im thinking about getting are in the Black Finish, to match up with my SS/SC. It would look killer! The only other wheels that I have seen and like are Work Emotion CR Wheels, but I dont think they are made to fit the Cobalt SS/SC. I know they are made for the japanese cars.

Well if anyone has anything about the O.Z. Wheels post some pics or any advice! thanks!!

Get them and post some pics, becuase I want to see how they look too. They're about the only good looking aftermarket wheel for the LSJ, but I don't know if I want to go to 18".

That feature works alright, but I think it doesnt make the wheels look right on the car. It makes it look like a 4x4. Too much wheel gap between the wheel and finder!

Not on a Cobalt, but recently added them to my SLK - they're VERY light for an 18" wheel and that's the main reason I purchased mine. But they also look pretty good too IMO. As Mark04STi explained, don't put too much faith in the Tirerack simulator - it really doesn't do the wheel justice.

These are the wheels I want to get. 18.5lbs will do nice! 10lbs lighter than the stockers.

Was the same savings for me - a loss of 40lbs unsprung weight is a GOOD thing!

Wish they had the gunmetal for the 5x110 , but glossy . Both the black and the gunmetal is a matte finish .

Go for the silver, it'd look great on your silver SS/SC! The whole black wheel thing is starting to get just a little bit overdone IMO.

The wheels look awsome on your SLK!

Im gonna go with the black wheels! I think the black on black looks great! I do have to agree that gunmetal would look better on the car, but they are not offered.

Post some pics of the Silver on Sliver when you can! I want to see how it looks!

Thanks Mark, black wheels do work best on black cars - I'm sure you'll like how the car feels a bit lighter on it's feet too with the UL's!

That's a badass AMG you have got BlueLT, they sound awesome. Why are you driving a cobalt with a car like that? Must be the beater car, right?

Thanks man...nawww, the beater is a Kia *L*. The Cobalt is to have something else reliable, with a warranty...she-who-must-be-catered won't let me have more than one toy car .

I have these on my neon right now. They are some nice looking wheels for sure but you can get some rota boost or torque for a lot less and they look pretty much the same. If you get them get the 17x8.

Looks good. I don't think rota makes wheels in our retarded ass bolt pattern, plus rota wheels are kind of crappy.

Wish somebody had a side pic of these on an SS/SC... I like the wheels but I'm afraid they'll make our brakes look tiny and retarded, and I'm not getting bigger brakes to have my car not look retarded...
