i`m out on the market for some new tires and i wanted to ask you whats the widest size of p zero corsas that i can buy with the OEM wheels on.

DFW01E55

265 front and 285 rear based on the 9" front and 9.5" rear wheels.
Not much of a choice in Corsa's.

Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread...but does anyone know the exact weight of the OEM BS wheels? (The search engine is down)

Reason I ask is Tirerack just came out with the OZ Ultraleggera HLT for BS fitment (or so they say), 19x9 and 19x10 (23.6 lbs only!), AND with a price of just 441...that's less than a corsa tire

Sorry to continue the highjack...... I can't answer your questions about weight of the BS wheel but, I am ordering a set of the 20" O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT today for the new to us SL55. What a great looking wheel!! They are discounting the 20" wheel and it makes me think they are discontinuing it?

front 9jx19 h2, 25mm ET, 24 lbs
rear 9.5jx19 h2, 31mm ET, 28 lbs
bolt pattern 5 x 112

Not sure if the styling of that wheel is going to complement the BS. Besides, you want to exchange a forged aluminum wheel for a cast aluminum wheel? Have you considered putting wheel spacers on and keeping the stock wheels?

I want a bit more rubber in the rear..295 which would be too wide for a 9.5. The new Ultraleggera HLT is a flow-formed casting wheel which is supposedly stronger than simple cast. I havn't read any thread where the Ultraleggera (or any OZ wheel) suffered catastrophic failure.

Yes I agree the OEM wheel is prettier, and it's forged, but I doubt anyone here has an objective measurement comparing the OEM wheel rigidity to the Ultraleggera. Plus it saves 4lbs each wheel.

Sure if I have $6k or $10k burning a hole in my wallet I go get some HREs or Dymags as well, but I don't. On the other hand, 440 for a wheel ain't too bad...even if it bends. (j/k, of course)
