Default What to for go for ... 18x8 wheels! OZ, Team Dynamics and Rota

So I've just sold my 18x7.5 Ultraleggeras due to them not clearing my Brembo's without spacers.

I've currently got a set of 19x8 Ultraleggeras on from dunx but there's a tell tale sign of them rubbing the arches!

So here's what I'm thinking....

OZ - Alleggerita HLT Titanium in 18x8



OZ - Ultraleggera Gunmetal in 18x8



Rota - Torque Bronze in 18x8



Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Silver in 18x8



I'm a massive fan of the multispoke look and I really loved my Ultraleggeras.
I've always enjoyed the clean look of the silver finish, but do like the gunmetal/anthracite look too. Descisions....!!

Out of all, the Alleggerita are tickling my fancy at present. Anyone got some fitted....?

Check out my garage LeeP or this link here
http://www.just-subaru.com/impreza-1...a-79787-0.html is my car at revolution last year
They look smart but do look lighter in real life than the photos tell you.
Revolution do them in the black also if that is your style. I was a little off when I saw them the first time but as Black wheels are everywhere they kinda grew on me and I love em now.

When you add good tyres though the price goes right up,i was looking at £1500 but my tyres were 225/35/18,which are well expensive because nobodys got any,worth a call though,they seemed like decent blokes.

They're made in the same factory/same company as the Goodyear F1's (believe it's a sister company). Having had 2 sets of these now, I highly recommend them.

Very quiet tyre for bumpy road use, excellent water dispersion, a tough enough sidewall and they dont get destroyed on a trackday

Ive got a set of Dare Drif as below, and they have a nice selection including multispoke.

I know John personally at Dare - spent many a week snowboarding with him.

Though strangely never really seen much of his range! I guess you get used to looking at the majority - so many wheel manufacturers out there now

I do like the Dare ST's though!
Happy with the Turini's though - I wanted some when I had a Clio 197. Fitted tomorrow so will post some pics up.
