I was able to get a set off 17" OZ Superleggera's off ebay for a STEAL (sorry Alex), and wasnt to sure if I really did like them or not. I am basically asking for opinions. I was tossing with Super Turismo's, but the back order is way too long. The weight is really an awesome factor with these wheels as with the tires they have to take at least 10 lbs off each wheel compared to the S Lites. I am not sure if the Darker Gray color is right for my car. The rims are 17x7 and the tires are 215/45/17, and offset it 37mm.
Take a look, Sorry the car is dirty, we had some rain today :(

 

I LOVE them. Shall I repeat that? LOVE them. I wanted a set for my CR/B.. found 'em on Ebay too. I was told they'd rub with my h-sports, so I didn't get them.

Looks awesome.

 

I only had a little (I mean minimal) rubbing of plastic with the rear weighted down from the stock rims and tires in the boot. I was told a little dremel to plastic will remedy any rubbing, so I need to verify the spot, and trim, but I will have to wait and see if I can repeat the rubbing.
Thanks for Lovin' them!

 

Schawitisimo. Me gustan mucho. What is that finish called?

 

Love them as well!! They look really nice. What's the exact name for these rims and how different do they feel from stock?

 

that's a WIDE rear license plate holder!! :smile:

 

made for this......

 

Lower it!

They are OZ Superleggera's and they are in a special color, They are the darker silver color referred to by OZ as Matt Tuner. No idea what that means, but I wasnt sure of the color, as I thought the standars Silver would look better.

 

Trying to decide which coilovers to get...

 

To save space capacity I did not repeat the photos above, but I wonder if you can enlighten me about the wheels. How did you get so much "lip"? They look spectacular for a front wheel drive. I clicked onto the MiniMadness site and was not certain at what I was looking. Thanks.

 

That is a nice set up What size wheels is that? 18" or 17" Cool offset...........

 

His wheels are a Keskin Rim from Germany. The fronts are an 8" wide rim I believe and a 9" in the rear. I know for a fact they are lotsa $$ as I wanted the same look and researched them to get here, and they are very difficult to get, not to mention the rubbing obstacles. I am sure he will chime in soon.

 

I think the OZ's look great man, The color is awsome and blends well with the car. Check out the H-sports, their a pretty well rounded spring. You'll have to get a hold of myself, JCampos or SFJames if your near the Bay Area for some crazy motorin'.

 

Wheels look good. Why 215/45-17??? 205/45/17 is a plus one, 215/40-17 should be plus two. Just curious.

 

Most 215/40-17s have a rather low load rating.

 

Yes load rating as well as more sidewall for those harsh roads in CA, and the fact that I wasnt loosing as much speedometer calibration (only 1%), and more tread on the road.

 

Itsdchz - the wheels look great! Great choice!

 

Personally, not really my style. I tend to like webspokes more than straight. But, that being said, they look really nice on your ride and the darker silver goes well with your blue.

 

Man, you stole em alright! Congrats!

 

Itsdchz - do you like them yet?? :smile:

 

I got some OZ Superleggeras on E-Bay too. Mine are 16" silver with Bridgestone 205 S03s mounted on them. I love them!

As soon as the weather clears, I'll take some pics and post 'em so you can see the same wheels in a different color and smaller size on a MINI.

 

Still debating, I think the 4x4 look is killing my sense of judgement, now I am running around deciding on $1500 PSS9's, $1100 H&R's, or Racing Dynamics, who I never heard of...

 

I saw those on eBay but decided not to go with them. Thay look nice though

Maybe you can powercoat them to change the color if you want

 

So you're the person who bought these...

I was watching the auction and decided to pass at the last minute (after bumping the price a time or two . I think I'll be selling my silver set in the near future. I like them but just have a weakness for SSR's.
