OZ Superleggera

uberGTI · Oct 7, 2004

I really want bbs ch's but just don't know if I could spend 1,600 on wheels! Even though these would still be around 1,200.

To me those look like your stock wheels. Are you going for looks or wieght? or both? what are you bolt patterns 5x100? I think you could get some forged wheels for like around $850 without tires, but they are 17". Plus they aren't euro they are of the asian variety. Actually they have 18", but not on the honda-tech groupbuy.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

the superleggera's are real nice. OZ makes a quality product. you should look for used ones too, cuz they were real popular like 2 years ago, you could probably get an awesome deal.

viet, your taste in wheels is horrible, except maybe those first ones.......also with those wheels if they are asian....they are probably make with the wrx in mind with 5x100 but the high offset for a subaru, you'd need to run spacers, which could be a pain

Viet · POOP Bum

I only like the 1st and 2nd one. The third one is ok. I'm not the biggest fan of the 6+ spoke wheels. It all depends what car they go on. I guess you guys are more into the look. I'd actually rather get ugly ass light wieght wheels over the good looking bling bling wheels. If i had money I'd buy a SSR comps, the first of the three I posted, these velox ones

they are suppose to be 12.5 lbs for 17". Too bad they don't make them any smaller, or

If those OZ's didn't look similar to the stock ones i'd get them, unless they wieghed significantly less I'd get them then. What are the specs of the stock ones?

But anyways Shawn what BBS's have you been looking at?

Well, when I asked about ordering the OZ wheels at work they laughed and said they were old and ****ty! Maybe I'll go back to the ch's!

you should just design your own wheels and have emachine shop cnc them out of a solid peice of aluminum or just get these http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collection/classic_mk1/index.html

or these http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collection/fellini_lm_9/index.html

LOL those metal plates are awesome. We should put them on project CFTC.

Viet · POOP Bum

How many lbs are those bbs?

THE PRESIDENT · see above

wheels, wheels, wheels......

this is no doubt a very important decision........

here are a few of my suggestions.

you've already considered these or simillar, some Volks (in bronze)

Or some BBS LeMans, but in black?

rial makes some insane wheels, this model is the daytona race

Rh's are also NEVER a bad decision

Now THESE i've been seriously considering, so DONT STEAL MY IDEA. but i think CH's would look sweet in black too.......

then the best i've seen to date, which are practically impossible to find. THe SSR formula mesh in gold..with a stepped lip.....ahhhhhh

just some thoughts of mine

THE PRESIDENT · see above

or you could pic up some RV's and have em p-coated GOLD.

Viet · POOP Bum

I like those old school ssrs man. jamin you should definately get them! I don't like how those gold ones look on your gti. It would probably look better on shawn's gti.

Hey! if you wanted to sell me those RV's I have the cash!! And I could get tires for them for like 250 bucks. I would'nt think you would part with those though.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

nah, i'm not getting rid of the RV's. but you could hook a club up with some tire deals........

Fia racer · Still Honda all the way!!

you can get bbs with tires cheap at treaddepot .com check it out

Viet · POOP Bum

Well I was checkin www.edgeracing.com for some tire prices and found out that they have a discount on almost everything since they are moving. I think the prices are really cheap without the discount, but this is better for us I guess. So get yourish while it lasts! Oh they are located in FL so you will have to Tax, but compared to tirerack it should definately still be cheaper. Bad news is that they don't sell any bbs. They have other stuff though. Lik falken wheels and tires, flik, 5zigen, and other ish. Wow if i had money I'd definately jump on this deal! You guys could 18" falken chrome wheels

but the good thing is that they weigh a little less then 19lbs. Which is pretty good for chrome wheels that usually weigh 20+.
