New shoes?

[4jo3]

Its not my gtr but I need some opinions. I am tossing the idea around of getting a new set of shoes for my urs4. Does anybody have experience with OZ rims? I like the idea that they are pretty light. I'm thinking 17x8 +35 ultraleggera. (17lbs).

My car current has B5 S4 rims and they are bricks 28lbs without rubber. My track rims are 15lbs Pics below of the B5 S4 rims.







I cannot run anything with a big lip because of the brakes as shown. There is only one set of 16s that will fit over them and I have them. As for 17s... its pretty close nothing with a big lip will fit. Does anybody else have any ideas on what rims would look good on this car. Only thing is they have to be around the 17lb range.

Thanks.

I'd suggest contacting Peter at Image In Motion in Burnaby. VERY quick with replies and treated me VERY well on prices. Best I found. I'm sure if he can help you he will.

thanks buddy ... she works well. If your looking at B5 / B6's just be careful about the B5's. On paper they are the perfect car. AWD, twin turbo, 6 speed but they have there issues. I was looking at them too and couldn't get enough cash together to get the B6 (which is a wonderful car). So I opted for the older model C4. The V8 in the B6 is awesome. The turbos in the B5 are junk compared to the older models... the C4 model pushes 18psi on its turbo and the B5 is not nearly that much. Plus when you chip the B5 its only a matter of time before you blow the turbos. And unfortunately you have to pull the motor to replace turbos. Actually my buddy and I did one without pulling the motor ... it took 2x as long ... no jokes. Good luck on the vehicle search. Keep me posted they are such nice cars.
