O.Z. Wheels
IHas anyone have experience with them? are they a good company? I saw one of there wheels on an Acura NSX and Im in love, I think they are called Ultraleggera. How expensive are they?
In the past on all of my cars I've only put Work Wheels on them, so I just wanted to know. Thank you

I ran 16x7 Ultraleggera's on my MINI with Hoosier R6's and they were good wheels. Good stiffness, light, but a bit pricey. IMO, worth it. They're a legit wheel from a legit wheel company.

OZ makes a really good wheel, shouldn't have any complaints if you get a set

I used to have a set of 18"x8" O.Z. Racing Superleggera's on my Celica GT-Four (ST205) and they were amazing. Light weight for the size, very strong, used to hit a fair few potholes in the roads round here (UK) and never managed to damage a wheel, did about 28,000 miles on them no problems.....
Though, yes, they are quite expensive.. looked awesome though! |

Great company and wheels.
Price wise they are similar to others: (prices from tirerack, stuck with black (when possible) just to keep pricing equal as different finishes result in a different cost) 17x8 OZ Ultraleggera Black: $276 - 17.0lbs 17x8 Enkei Racing PF01 Black: $265 - 17.3lbs 17x8 Enkei Racing RPF1 Black: $252 - 15.6lbs 17x8 OZ Alleggerita HLT Black: $339 - 15.6lbs 17x8 Kosei K1 TS Grey (no black avail): $269 - 15.5lbs

Ran some on my Impreza a few years back.
Good quality wheels, if a little pricey. I had people queuing up to buy them when I sold the scooby! |

They really aren't that pricey compared to the other similar options. Sure they are expensive compared to a 23lb wheel, but that's apples to oranges..

high quality, light, very good price-performance ratio, etc.
beside BBS, OZ is in my prime selection for wheels (because there is no possibilty to get JDM wheels official legalized in D) IMO very good choice! |
