OZ ultraleggera question

atlantacarman · 07-17-2009, 10:18 PM #1

im looking to get set from tire rack.. but im little worried.. im looking for 19 inch with some great tires.. i have 06 slate grey C2S with aerokit and lowered. and alot other extras..

so my question.. i have seen ultraleggeras with super nice concave in back wheels.. i love them.. but i have also seen some that look just like front wheels.. ugly in my opinion and no concave at all.. so whats up with that?? does it come concave only with wide body 997's? thanks alot for all the help

if your car is lowered, get the wheels with the c4s offsets for an aggressive stance and concave look. the stock c2s offset on a c2 will look too sunken in imo
see if they have a 12" wide gt3 fitment and go with that

thanks.. they only seem to have 11 inch wide.. but different offsets for nb and wb cars.. i keep looking for 12'' but i will go with 11'' if thats all i can find.. exited..

The 40et wheels have the concave, 50 are flat. This is the 40ET wheel:

This is the 50ET wheel:

We are OZ's american importer, so give me a call to order and I will make sure you get the wheels you want.

Thanks -

I have been wondering about this very thing. I too am interested in getting the Ultraleggera's (in black on seal gray), but there seem to be so many different offsets available for the rears. The 40ET rears will stick too far out on a NB right? The C4 has 50ET, the C2/C2S has 65ET (both on 11" width) and the C4S has 40ET. The GT3 has a 68ET on 12" width. According to my rough calculations, the offset is not that different between the GT3 wheel and the C4 wheel. I am running 15mm spacers on stock C2S rears (as are many) and the wheel face is just about perfect, this would equate to a 50mm offset, and I could not imagine being able to run a wheel that is sticking out a further 10mm.

Get the 50ET....unless your brave and want to try the 40ET.... whatever you do, dont buy the 63ET wheels as you will need a spacer for them to look any good!

That's what I was planning on doing, but I also don't like the flat rear look and would much prefer the concave look. According to Damon's post, the 50ET wheels will look flat. I know that I have seen concave rear Ultraleggera's on NB's, but I have not gotten a definite answer on the wheel specs.
