I'm thinking of possibly getting a set of oz ultraleggers or superleggers LM's as i can get a good deal.

has anyone went from 18" monza's to decent light weight wheels (a la team dynamics/oz etc) and can you feel the difference?

18" monza is 13kg and an 18" OZ UL weighs 8kg. thats a pretty big difference.

i love the way the monza shadows look but they're pretty damn heavy!

Wheels look great Neil, but I like your brakes even more!  :laugh:

I think it would look awesome if you got some carbon side skirts as well. Carbon skirts would probably look nice with those wheels. :D

i can get a deal on 4 new graphite OZ superleggera LM's for £900 with carbon centre caps, bolts etc with my tyres taken from my monzas and refitted to the new wheels.

I'm pretty tempted. 5kg a corner should map a huge difference.
