Red face Yay or Nay 1pc OZ superleggeras

I need a strong and lightweight wheel and I'am on a budget no more the $300 per wheel, These are the only ones I come across that I like and can afford.
I know wheels with a lip look best on the Z so am a little unsure if these would look good

so I wonder if these wheels would look good on a redline Z
I know theres a three peice but its to heavy and can't afford them anyways

also considering these but dont know if there as strong as the OZ's my friend called them "Super Soft Rims"

No contest..... SSR's. SSR GT2-H are forged. Superlagga's? NOT. Find new friends. My wife know more about wheels than your compadre. SSR's for under $300 ea???? Used maybe.

Actually the 3-piece Superleggera is not heavy compare with other true 3-piece wheels. But they do cost a pretty penny

What size are you getting? Like someone said, I doubt you can get the GT2 for $300

To me the OZ's would give the car a more European look, the SSR's give it a more American musclecar look.

My 2c.

Tire rack has the ssr for around $289 for the 18X8.5 I know normal cost is around $400+ so I really thing about these

I really like the OZs and I know there strong and look better in person I've had a set on my previous car just dont know if they will look as good as the more familar 5 spoke wheels most Zs are running

I have those OZ, 18/8front,18/9rear 35offset and 15mm Eibach wheel spacer all around, stock tire size. It looks ok to me with the light grey, improved handling,braking...
The width looks small compare to the stock wheel width(non Rays), you can easily go 9 all around or 20mm wheel spacer all around.
No pictures.

I would have love those SSR, not available at a reasonable price in France.
