Question Prodrive P1 or OZ Superleggera?

I've pretty much narrowed down my two wheel choices to the Prodrive P1 and the OZ Superleggera (as you can see I'm into rally cars). I was just wondering which design is the coolest. The P1's are a bit more rally-style and thicker looking while the Superleggera's are sleeker and more gt-style (great for showing off racing breaks). I just can't make a decision. I need help!!!

I also don't know which color to choose, do I wan't gunmetal or gold. Both wheels look good in either color. The gold would go nice with my wrb color scheme though. So what color should I get?

Please, let me know, this is a big decision and I need help deciding what's good and what's not good!

Thanks!

Get the GOLD P1's. It was either the P1's or the Rota Tarmac II's. I went to the tire place near my house and they said they dont do buisness with Rota and a company's name which I shall not name -> ("We have the biggest selection of rota wheels"). and they cant get the P1's............... so I was heated. my cars color is silver now but I'm going to get it painted WRB. And then they were trying to get me to buy the Superleggera's saying "it's pretty much the same thing, with the spoke design" and then they wouldn't even budge on the price. But anyways get the P1's in gold over the Superlaggera's.

What's important to you? P1's are heavier but also stronger. I believe the curb weight is about 19lbs vs 15.1lbs. Oz's come in +48mm offset and P1's are +53mm. This matters if you drive an GC or wagon and you want to put fatters tires on it. Price wise I've found they are pretty similar.

amarpauld, what size tire you running on yours?

jwrx, are those 17's or 18's?

I want to run the 17x7's on mine. My concern is how a 225x45 will look on the 7" rim. Don't want it to look all bubbled out. Wonder is the 215-45 would be the better choice.

I use 225/45's on my 17x7's, i think they look good, not bubbled out. If anything i think the straight sidewall looks better than that of a narrower tire.
