Disappointing to see OZ offers wheels with caps to mimic centerlocks. I didn't think OZ was in the 'fake' business.

That is bad. It looks like a base model too.

The first time I saw one of these wheels was on a BRZ in a tire rack ad. I did a double take and thought to myself: centerlock conversion?... for a BRZ? Not possible. Then I looked up the wheel and saw that it was just a cap over the lugs to make it look like a centerlocks.

So fake. So cheesy....

He might as well put a Turbo badge on there while he's at it. I like his setup minus the Spyder badge on the rear. Dumb.

Funny how most guys with center locks want to get rid of them and OZ is making a copy.
