Legerra means 'light' and they are -- just 23 lbs. The finish is Grigio Corsa, or Race Grey. These are 20" but the ride feels as supple as my OEM 19s. Tomorrow I'll find out how they perform on Skyline.

I liked them in photos a couple forum members posted here, liked them in web search images. Took a little chance ordering them sight-unseen. Strange coincidence, my little local independent German car specialist (and TireRack installer) had a black 991 Turbo with the same wheels there this morning when I went to fetch my car.

Nice upgrade! Do you know the weight difference between the oem wheels and the leggera's?

Do you know the weight difference between the oem wheels and the leggera's?

Porsche OEM wheels are quite light, themselves. Compared to the 991 Carrera S wheel which it closely resembles:

Carrera S Wheel (per Rennlist)
11x20 27lbs 12oz

OZ Leggera HLT (per OZ site)
11x20 24lbs

I didn't do this to save unsprung weight, but to get the wheel size, design and open look I'd originally spec'd in my configuration with the Carrera S rim (but compromised on when taking my car with its standard Boxster S 19"). Still I wouldn't have made the switch unless the after-market wheel was as-light/lighter.

They look very nice! That wheel is on my short list should I actually pull the trigger on downsizing to 19" wheels.

Those are very good looking wheels, thanks for sharing all of the great images.


Will the stock Porsche Crest center caps fit on these wheels?

Will the stock Porsche Crest center caps fit on these wheels?

According to TireRack, no -- but I see Porsche center caps with these wheels in web photos, and that 911 Turbo at my installer had them, so there must be some way to get them to fit.

Funny thing, early on that requirement was a key factor in my consideration of any after-market wheel. But after looking at so many photos of the 'OZ Racing' logo on their black carbon-fiber hub, it has grown on me to where I elected not to even explore switching my color Porsche caps with my installer. Maybe later on....right now I like how the red calipers 'pop' against the black hubs, silver/grey wheels and rotors, and black car.

Thanks, that answered it completely. Maybe not much but it's an improvement in unsprung weight.
I was considering a smaller diameter for track use, wonder if steering input on the 718 would be affected like on my s13.
Again good choice on your OZ wheels enjoy

Looks sharp...beautiful car!

Tomorrow I'll find out how they perform on Skyline...

How do you like 'em?

 

[ZuffenHouseRules]

How do you like 'em?

Love 'em. 100% satisfied with the upgrade. But honestly, even when I'm really pushing it on appropriate public-roads/conditions, I'm still well under this car's astounding limits (to wit: the PSM warning light is not flashing, tires are not squealing).

But given that, I can say they look and feel great, and together with the 35-profile Michelin PS4S inspire a (even higher) level of confidence.

p.s. thanks all for kind words, appreciated.

Beautiful wheels - were they lighter than your 19" wheel set up ?

Beautiful wheels - were they lighter than your 19" wheel set up ?

Thanks. I have to extrapolate a bit as I don't have the direct comparison data, but yes I believe the OZ 20 is still lighter than the Porsche OE (BBS?) Boxster S 19. Per the OZ chart, two inches of additional rim width on the 20 only adds 1.6 lbs., so I figure one inch less diameter doesn't make the OE 19 3.7 lbs. lighter (the OZ advantage over OE comparing 20-to-20).

Haven't been able to get the difference in tire weight either. Would a '+1' tire with same circumference and width but less sidewall (20/35 versus 19/40) expect to be heavier or lighter? Somewhat counter-intuitive but I'm thinking the lower-profile 20 actually lighter than the 19.....

I just waxed the OZ wheels with Zymol and that Grigio Corsa finish takes on a nice deep luster...nothing like the Tire Rack graphics -- more like the OZ site gallery photos: https://www.ozracing.com/alloy-wheels/oz-racing/i-tech/leggera-hlt

My thanks to whoever it was posted pics of the Leggera on their Cayman here, got me to reconsider after initially dismissing on the basis of Tire Rack images.

Offsets of your wheels, please?

 

[MikesPorsche]

can the stock Porsche center cap transfer over for a more OEM look?

 

[Ale24]

can the stock Porsche center cap transfer over for a more OEM look?

Yes absolutely!

 

[MikesPorsche]

Cool! Are those the 19s or the 20s version and is your car lowered at all / PASM? Or stock ride height?

 

[Ale24]

19s on stock suspensions without PASM. 20s with a lower car look better but for me 19s are the best compromise between look and handling.

 

[Mozella]

At the risk of being called the spelling Nazi ...............uh.............spelling Brandon, I'll mention that the word is leggera..............two "g"s and one "r".

 

[MikesPorsche]

Anyone else have these wheels on their cayman / boxter?

These are the 19" wheels with Michelin AS4S.
