Does anyone have pics of either of these wheels on their car? I\'m leaning toward the OZs because I can get them in silver and they have a 2lbs weight advantage over the Works, both are nice though.

You\'ll spend a lot more time to clean the rims because of the multi-spokes ;)

No rubbing at all, even after I lowered it with H-Tech. However, steering becomes very sensitive due to the light weight I guess (not because of H-Tech).

18s would look great but rubber is too expensive. I already have Pilot Sport A/S\'s on my stock rims which is why I want to stay with 17s.

18\'s are anywhere from $750 to $1000 for a full set. And thats for ultra high performance tires.
they are not as pricey as people think. 18\'s are getting pretty common now. Tires23 is the place to go.

I guess it all depends on what rubber you want to put on. Pilot Sport A/S or P-Zero Nero M&S 225/40/18 are in the $325 - 350ea range. I have the P Sports now and love them, the Nero is the only other tire I\'d go for. That\'s $1400 plus tax or $1600 just for the rubber. I agree there are other 18inch z rated tires for $200-250 but I\'ve been spoiled by the P Sports and don\'t think I could down grade.

Blunt - agreed, the bars look really good under the hood.

That\'s rite, thx Sabio~ There are many choices of inexpensive ultra high performance tires in 18\", especially 225/40/18 for Mazda 3.

We are a Work Wheels dealer and we\'ve sold a lot of OZ Superleggera too, they are both excellent quality wheels. You can check with Autoexe (Clement), he should have some nice pics of the Work Emotion on his car ready.

We have Work wheels in stock if you want to drop by and take a look at them in person.

Thanks
