Re: BB4 - New OZ Alloys

Post by vanzep » Thu Apr 25, 2013 4:21 pm

Was on the lookout for a 16" 205/50/16 tyre to replace one of the worn ones on my PIAA,s and saw a set of OZ alloys with good tyres in that size for sale on gumtree. Picked them up today - i think they are oz supperleggers or something - so took my OEM OZ Polaris alloys off and fitted them - theyve dropped the car about another inch as ive gone from 205/55 to 205/50 - will need to test them out over speedbumps :? what do you guys think to the new wheels - fail or pass :lol:
need to find some centre caps for them :)

Used to be popular on ludes back in the day when I bought mine, I think they suit your car well IMO 8-)

They're not Superleggeras. I think they may be Ultraleggeras. Lovely lightweight wheels! :geek:
I have the Superleggeras on mine. :P

No, they're the same as my old wheels (& my stunt double Ste's old wheels now) - OZ Super Turismos. :wink:

Cracking wheels IMO, proper Italian wheels. 8)

ahh superturismos - thats what they are - i remember seeing them when they first came onto the market and thinking i like the sound of them being lightweight :)

anyone got a spare set of centre caps? think theyre about 53-55mm ;)
