Default My new weight reduction mod





I will get my car back by sometime next next week.
Hope car comes out fine. Looks like they are doing very well fixing it.
I'm checking my car almost every 2-3 days

What happened to my car

At least it's all repairable! Good luck getting it all fixed; that looked like it was a nasty one.

The car looks cooler with the front bodywork off than it does with it on.

A race car layout if ever I saw one.

Good luck with the repair, more importantly you and your girlfriend are ok.

jwkim, I'm glad to see your car is coming along well. Are these the same OZ Superleggras you had from before the crash? Did you have to replace any of them?

Have you had any issues with 17" Superleggras so far? It seems that everyone buys those wheels in 18" size, but I think they look much better when they are a little smaller. I'm really interested in those wheels, but only in 17" Have you had any problems?

Passenger side front and rear OZs were damaged and insurance company is replacing them under policy.


I think 17in OZ SL has great value. Front weights 16.5lb and rear weights 17.5lb.
The only problem I had with this wheel is minor rubbing issue.
Wheel has more than proper offset.
My front and rear wheel flush with the fender. It looks very good tho.
My car is lowered to 1 finger gap now and when I go over big bumps fast, front tires rubs very slightly.
Running 215 on front with slightly more negative camber should fix the problem.
Also S-03's 225 runs wider than some other tires, so you should be able to get rid of rubbing with tryin different tires too(ex.Pilots runs narrower than S-03).
My rear(245/40/17) rubs ONLY when I have 250lb friend sitting on the car with me and go over big bumps.
If you are running stock suspension you will be fine.
