What's the difference between the older Superleggera and the new Ultraleggera? Tirerack only has the Super's at 17 inches and the Ultra's at 18 inches. They used to have the Supers only at 17 18 or 19 (God forbid).

They look different.

Harpoon

Thanks spa-zz, but could the difference in appearance just be the size of the two sample wheels? They look like they could be several inches apart in size.

Edit - nevermind - you're right - they look different at several different points on the wheel.

I like the new ones!

spa-zz

I don't think so. (Look at the valve stem and lugs scaled to each wheel... looks pretty close to me.) The spokes on the new ones are thinner and extend to the rim edge, which is nice because it makes them look larger. Like the AP2 OEM wheels.

Yeah, the Ultraleggera look sweet... Very AP2 like... But what's up with the 4x bolt pattern...

spa-zz

Huh?

Many wheels come with 4 or 5 bolt patterns. Increases the number of cars a wheel will fit on...

Bassem

just an fyi, the ultras are not any lighter than the supers, although the names suggest otherwise

Oh, I know... Its' just odd that they used a 4-lug for advertising...

Work Equips are 4-lug only and available in 15's as the largest diameter IIRC...

And some wheels are also bi-sexual... They can be bolted up to 5x100 or 5x112... (ie. OZ Crono Evolutions)...
