Default OZ Superleggeras

I intend to get some of these but I am worried about ordering the wrong ones. I know nothing about wheels but I know you have to have the correct off-set?

Has anyone ordered any and if so where from. Basically I want to use a place that know the S2000 like Bracknell Tyres. I.e you order S02's from Bracknell and you get the JZ's

I want a place that does wheels that will ensure that the 'correct' OZ wheels are used

From Ozwheels.com (The US section):

18x8 offset 45mm weight 18lb
18x9 offset 55mm weight 19.6lb

Just make sure you ask for the above.
Cheers

Yeah, get on the US boards - that lot are always talking wheels etc.....

Look into how a set of 18's will change the driving dynamics of the car thou...

Good choice of wheels zero!

I think the Superleggeras look the business and suit the car. I'd go for 17's though I think.

Is the offset printed anywhere on the wheels so that when you get them there is proof you've got the correct ones?

Try Tirerack.com for the correct offsets. I don't know about the markings on the wheels, maybe a post on the wheel and tire forum might get an answer?

there's a place in Rainham called Elite Autos and Design, I've used them in the past and been impressed.

I need mail order as I want to keep the original wheels and no space to transport them back I don't think

I would like lower profile to sharpen up the handling and losing some unsprung weight would be ideal. I gather that the OZ's are much lighter than stock

The stock wheels like the stock exhaust seem a bit puny to me but I guess it's all down to cost at the end of the day

I like the piccy of the yellow one. I can see that in the rim there is defo some writing and I am guessing that somewhere the off set will be detailed

I need those wheels and soon

Elite is very very overpriced from my experience. And if your not getting them to fit - you could do much cheaper...

Definitely buy a max power type mag (or go to WH smith and put some numbers in you mobile!) cos there are loads of adverts for wheels in them...
