this rim is light ant it looks pretty good imo...
does anybody have a pic of the superleggra on a silver celica? I tried searching for it, but i couldn't find any.
also, does the superleggra (17") weight 12 pounds?
I think they weight more like 15.x lbs. for 17x7.

ur welcome...
the strength of the wheel depends on lots of factors.. what kind of composite its made of.. the geometry... and the type of manufacturing process... in general forging is stronger than casting...
if you go to that website i gave you.. http://www.wheelweights.com at the bottom of the list it has the order of strength.

I have them. They are 16.4lbs for the 17x8. They are pretty strong. I've hit some big potholes and they haven't bent or anything. The quality on them is excellent.
My rims are going to be for sale in a week or so. I'm selling my celica. Here are some pics http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/i31770/lst?&.dir=/celica&.src=ph&.view=t

O.Z. is a really good company. They make rims for Ferrari, Formula 1, and WRC cars.

The pics are in my first post. The 17x7 weigh 15lbs. but they don't come in a size that will fit the celica.

ic...how do u like the superleggra? did u notice any power loss?

I didn't notice any power loss at all. I have 215/40 on them right now so the rolling diameter is slightly less than stock. The only thing I don't like about them is cleaning them. It is a pain in the ass and I always miss a spot.

I'll put KMart wheels on my car if they are free, I'll put KMart stickers on the car if they pay me to.
No, they don't have to be good, they are getting sponsored by OZ, and will get wheels as part of the deal.
In this case, they are good wheels. OZ is a major brand, the best? probably not, but very good? Yes.
