Looking for opinions

The new OZ Racing Classe wheel .... probably the most interesting aspect is you can replace the stainless steel lip on the wheel ... 18x8 with an 18x9 staggered fitment available (the 18x9 has a 2" lip)

How easy is this and what replacement options are available? Also, can you explain "staggered fittment"? Thanks.

What about the weight for the 18"? OZs are usually not the lightweights on the block.

Darkmann - staggered is when the rears are wider than the fronts - 18x8 front, 18x9 rear.

Interesting concept! Wheel a little bland and generic looking. Caution MBZ owners - This wheel is to be standard equipment on the upcoming 2003 Lincoln LSE Mclaren:
