Wheels and tires?

I've been doing alot of searching and haven't found anything on these wheels so I figured I'd ask. First one is OZ Ultraleggera, Second is OZ Superturismo GT, Third is OZ 35th Anniversary




I was wanting to know if anyone has tried them or know anything besides the normal stuff that Tirerack has posted for them? Also, I plan on using a 245 with these 18x8 wheels, so does anyone see any problems with them rubbing because the tire is a bit bigger?

Thanks

Edit: Does anyone know what the factory wheels weigh?

I hear alot of those rims don't fit because of the brembos.

Yeah that's all the real info I could find about wheels and our cars, was that it's hard to fit the wheels because the Brembo's are so damn big. I just really hope this doesn't turn into another brembo vs wheels flame war like most of the other wheel threads.

My biggest concern right now is will the 245's fit and not rub. I know I can fit 235's on the factory wheels, which is what I might end up doing, but again I dunno if those will rub either. Anyone tried this yet?

Not true.........

All three of those rims fit the SS/tc, but the second on tirerack only has less than 3 in stock and they wont be getting any more....


Also, the brembo brakes on our cars arent big at all... Take a look at an STi, those are bigger.....
