Buying these rims in 18's opinions please...

About to place an order for the OZ Sinfonia rims in 18". Click on this link and hit the 180 degree view (shows them with red lettering) and let me know what you think.

Also I would GREATLY appreciate if someone could photoshop those onto a silver cls so I could see what they look like....

Thanks for your opinions...

Don't do it! Ask them how much those things weigh. OZ has some of the heaviest cast wheels around. I almost placed an order for the OZ Nova Modulars. I loved those. Then I heard how much they weigh. I think they were like 28lbs each.

With all the performance mods you're getting, it will be reduced heavily by those boat anchors bolted to your axles.

Heavy wheels == might as well buy a lead sled to drag behind the car.

I'm not joking -- some people have suffered enough with some of these great looking, but too heavy wheels.

Suggestion:

Win lottery, then:

Put on heavy wheels for show -- enjoy that experience (set #1).

Put on some really light ones for driving around and enjoying that experience of a really fast car (set #2).
