Ahh, the Ultraleggera... the evolution of the Superleggera. Stronger and a tad lighter than the model it replaces. OZ is force to be reckoned with in the motorsports world. They are a major supplier to big name racing teams in higher forms of racing such as Indy 500.

Not exactly the lightest but a quality strong wheel with endurance.

Why is it heavy? I wouldn't really call 18.4 lbs for a 18x8 heavy. That is actually light compared to most other 18x8 wheels.

enkei rpf1's weigh 17.4lbs in 18x8, That is the lightest I have found for the price. I wanted superleggers for my 04 STI, but found it hard to get them in the right offset to clear the Brembos.

it's more of personal preference. Prodrive uses both O.Z. and Rays to make wheels so they are both good.
