Anyone have Silver OZ Ultraleggeras?

Anyone have Silver OZ Ultraleggeras?

I've seen a few photos on there from people with black ones, but I'm thinking of getting silver ones.

If you have silver Ultraleggeras on your Cobalt (ideally a yellow 'Balt), please post them up here...

Part of me likes the black, but EVERYONE does black with their aftermarket wheels...

Also, you have to apply tire shine every 10 minutes because the tires look like junk when they are next to a nice, shiny, black wheel.

I really wish they offered 18" wheels in our bolt pattern in the matte graphite color...that would be exactly what I want...

I agree, it was just a suggestion until someone posts pics but I dont remember seeing anyone with silver ones.

The OZ Leggs are matte black not shiney black ...problem solved ...matches the tires perfect , hehe .

Also , OZ makes a rim called Allegerita HLT in MATTE graphite and several other colors in 5x110 . 18.0 lbs/rim for a 18x8 with 40 mm offset . 2 mm less than the Ultraleggera . There not cheap tho , light ...good wheels never are tho .

If u havent check Tire rack in awhile theres quite few new rims for the 5x110's .

If guys are putting Ultraleggerras on 08-09's with plenty of clearence I dont dont see how the Allegerita's wouldnt work as well ...even tho tire rack doesnt list it when u select the 08-09's . The dimensions are virtually identical save for the 2mm less BS ont he Ultra's

Um...the car does come with silver wheels...and it looks pretty damn good!

I just don't want black because it just looks TOO aftermarket...like I'm trying too much to stand out...

That is why I wish the matte graphite was available in our bolt pattern...it would give me something right in between...

They are still shinier than a dull tire...looks weird...take a look at some of the folks that have them...the tires stick out like a sore thumb...

Where did you get the detailed specs on the OZ wheels? I've just been taking TireRack's word for it that they don't fit...

Also, I don't think the Allegerita has a matte graphite...they have titanium and matte black...no graphite...

tell me about it, I would love to have a gun metal or graphite one. My stock rims in front are covered in brake dust and they look absolutely awesome. Course I need to rotate them so the rears can get some brake dust and match..but then all my friends write crap in the dust...jackasses.

I know all about manufacturing combinations and how that increases costs...bla bla bla...

But would it really be that hard to put some 5x110's in line to be painted graphite? They already do other Ultraleggera bolt patterns in that color...

I think they like to screw over the 5x110 bolt pattern. theres another brand racing rim thats cheaper but they dont make it in our pattern, Its used on the time attack SS.

I think they look fine without tire shine.

Also, if you haven't noticed, Minnesotans LOVE Ultraleggeras.

It doesn't look BAD...it just bothers me...when you look at the whole car, the tire seem to be the first thing I notice...

Right...I'm going to pay $350 per wheel and then go drop another $75 bucks per wheel to powercoat them...
