To answer yer questions.
Yes they are more grey as opposed to silver.
No these are not the 3 piece, these are the standard USA issue 17x8 (15.6lbs), and 18x9 (19.4lbs) rims.
The front offset is 48mm
The rear offset is 35mm
Yes, big brakes fit under them, as the rims flare outward slightly, for larger roters/calipers.
No, the standard USA issue does not come in any other sizes.
What you see is all they make in the USA currently, the 3 piece are not available at the time I called OZ.
Yes, the first 2 pictures were taken in San Diego along the strip near the Naval bases.
Yes I drove it down, to visit Alex V. and Factor X for a project im working on.
Hope I got all the questions
As far as my personal feeling... I love the rims. Im thinking of purchasing a second set, and having them polished or chromed for "shows", and using these for track/racing events.
I was torn, I shopped for 3 months to find rims I wanted, that fit my weight and apperance criteria. The Superleggeras met them and I couldn't be happier.
One thing I want to note, is its very common to have entire rims be dipped in, or protruded outward. OZ took a smarter approach and kept the rim itself symetrical and dipped the center hub in instead, this gives the appearance that both rims "look" the same front and back even though the offsets are so different. This is one of those things you can't get an answer to when buying a rim ahead of time, but just have to see them first hand. Needless to say I was happy they did it properly....
I hate seeing front rims be flush with the body, while rear rims have the "deep dish" look ... it makes the car look off balance. The Superleggeras are not this way, they are flush both front and back.
