Short story ....
ULTRALEGGERA
An amazing new light weight design from O.Z Racing of Italy. This single piece alloy wheel has six pairs of spokes and a carbon fiber cap. Available in 15" to 19". Sample weights for 15x7 is 4.9kgs, 16x7 is 5.9kgs, 17x7 is 6.9kgs and 8.2kgs in 18x8. Weights may vary up to 5% depending on fitment
SUPRALEGGERA
Let's start with the light weight. A Superleggera monobloc 7" x 15” wheel weighs only 4.9 kg with benefits for your comfort (springs and suspension work better and last longer). Lightweight wheels also mean reduced breaking distance, less consumption of brake pads and better sideways road-holding in bends, all of which benefit safety. They also mean a reduction in fuel consumption. Another significant advantage is appreciated when a wheel needs to be replaced. Gone is the physical exertion of lifting and moving a heavy steel wheel rim. The rigidity of the wheel allows for accurate driving without any burring: the rim does not bend but follows the trajectory set to perfection, and in addition its rigidity enables it to absorb any roughness in the road surface better.
The O·Z Superleggera is the most lightweight wheel present on the market (up to 40% lighter than the competition) Another reason why Superleggera is a real gem is its looks: an exclusive design, a fusion of beauty and strength. The six pairs of spokes and the special lip on the outer rim with reinforcement ribbing designed to give the wheel rigidity, resistance and reliability also give it an extremely chic look.
