I dont understand why weight is a big deal. Its not a track car so I dont see why that should be a hinder in getting any alloys just for the road? Unless you really are feeling skimpy with fuel costs.

Unsprung mass DJ. I had a set of C5 wheels on my 306 (which weighed half as much as my standard Cyclone's did) and the difference in turn in and feedback was very noticeable. Once I refitted the Cyclones the steering felt noticeably heavier!

I'd go for the Oz's for the reasons mentioned by Uz and Dj although I would also consider the pro race 1.2s as somebody else said simply due to price and much easier to get hold of in the correct fitment etc

I was never a fan of my vortex's tbh.. maybe its because they were chrome and not a standard colour but i hated them in the end... sold them really stupidly cheap too!! lol
Heres my Fox alloys that are very similar to the OZ ones youre looking at.. hope they give you some insight!

Alrighty, makes sense! If I was going to get a reply to my message I would have been hoping for something like that!
