Enkei EKM3 Vs. OZ Ultraleggras

I'm looking to get either the Enkei EKM3's in the gunmetal (black) or the OZ Ultraleggras also in black for my black 09 t/c

I can't decide which to get...can anyone post up pics of these rims on your balt??

Thanks in advance

If you are OK with paying almost twice as much for the OZ's, I would get them hands down. They look better IMO and they are 7-8lbs lighter each.

That should be the only thing that makes it a tough decision. Otherwise, it should be a no-brainer! lol

It all depends on what you can afford. If you have to carry them on a credit card, it's not worth it. The EKM3's look just fine.

You could just buy the OZ wheels and use your stock tires, or was that the plan all along?

Enkei makes a great product, the primary advantage the OZ would have would be in weight. With as much power the SS has, I wouldn't worry about the weight all that much. For the most part, it will come down to which wheel looks better to you, given how much you want to spend.

Also keep in mind. The enkeis are far more common than the oz's. If that matters to you.
