New 18" lightweight wheels- updated pics

Decided to search Tire Rack (I used the banner here so this site would get credit for the sale) for my spring/summer wheels and saw this new wheel from Sparco. The Assetto Gara. I liked it as soon as I saw it, but when I saw the price and weight I was sold. Here are the stats:


18x8 et48 (perfect for our cars) it will I only stick out 9mm more than stock.
5x112 bolt pattern.
only 20.3 pounds not the lightest I know but for the price I think its a great deal. (that's lighter than my stock 17" denvers)
best part $169 ea. best price for weight ratio.
Kumho ASX UHP tires $101 ea. not the best but good ratings and reviews great price.
a quick Google search showed this wheels were engineered by OZ for Sparco, but they are made in China not Italy like the OZ wheels.
Let me know what you guys think.

Came home from work and these your in my garage:happyanim:
Oh yeah weighted all four Denvers with digital scale and got 48lbs each w/tire
The sparco weighted in at 43lbs each w/tire. Decent weight savings for the price. More pics on page 2.

Yea man these are a great value, they are affordable OZ basically. I really want to get BBS but the weight keeps throwing me off. I will probably end up going with Alleggerita or something similar.

I'm curious, you feel a difference? I've been contemplating a light set but if you don't spend a boatload selection is slim pickings.
