I do like OZ wheels, and the weight is only about a pound heavier than 
the OEM 15 inch alloys, which is nice. I do really like my 16X7 SSR 
Comps, it still surprises me how little they weigh when I take one off, 
but they are extremely pricey to replace if damaged.

I also seem to remember a lower price on the Ultraleggras, but that is 
about what I would expect them to cost.
