I haven't ordered these because I'm waiting on 18 x 9.5 and 19 x 11 wheel sizes:
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand
But the wheel offsets are correct at 54mm front and 75mm rear. Also, the center bore is 70.2mm.
To be perfectly spec on the wheel widths of 9"/10.5" calls for tire sizes of 255/40-18 with 295/35-19.
If the wheel widths were 9.5"/11" that would be spec with 265/35-18 and 305/30-19 tire sizes
The Oz Superleggera III can be found in 9.5/11 wheel widths in 18/19 diameters, 19/19 diameters, and 19/20 diameters. The front wheel offset is 59mm and the rear wheel offset is 74mm. A 3mm to 5mm wheel spacer might be used with the front wheel. The price is about $900 each.

Well, the 18 x 9.5 59mm front is listed under the C5. The other sizes are listed under the C6. But the 18/19 set gives a good choice of tire selection while keeping the front and rear tire sidewall heights about the same. The 19/19 set gives a good choice of tire selection but the front sidewall height will be shorter than the rear sidewall height

Thanks for the compliment. The Tape fits in a channel that runs behind the Spokes. Gives the Black Wheels some depth and looks great with the Red Calipers IMHO. Did I mention that it's Cheap?
It isn't perfect and I'll be redoing them at some point. Installed it with the Wheels on the Car. Old Guy + Cold Hard Ground = Crooked Tape.
