+1. Looking for 8.5 X 18 or prefer 9 X 18 for the fronts and 11 X 18 for the rears.
Need an 11 inch rear so I can use different tire sizes 295 and 315's.

I believe they do. Check the site for your application. I heard the cast OZ wheels don't hold up to track use very well. For street use OK.

Really? I haven't heard that at all. There are lots of people on here tracking the Alleggeritta.

That could not be any further from the truth. Walk down pit row at a Formula One or Indy Race. All you'll see is BBS or OZ. I can't tell you how many Allegerita/Ultraleggera sets I have sold for track use. For the volume there have been virtually zero issues. Any time someone bends one (and it's rare), they admit they would have bent anything under the circumstances.

Yes, I agree about BBS & OZ being used in F1 and Indy car. However these wheels are much differant than a cast wheel and are only design to last for a very limited time. Indy car requires all teams to X-Ray their wheel inventory every year. They had some serious problems in Indy car with wheel failures. This is why the wheels were not painted or coated, just raw, so they could more easily see a crack.
My point is, that both OZ and BBS make a wide range of wheels using various methods and materials and these are manufactured at facilities all over the world. Depending on what your looking and needing they will have a wheel for you.
MTW, what is the status with BBS? I here that they have until August 1st to get a buyer or investor for the company.
