Hello all,

I'm looking for a set of extra wheels for my upcoming 2011 GT3. Any opinions on the OZ Ultraleggera HLT CentLock wheels from tirerack? I don't want to spend a lot of money and they seem reasonable. I will use them on the track. I had a set for my previous Cayman S (obviously not center lock) and they looked, felt, and performed great.

Thanks.

 

They look good... almost pulled the trigger on a set but went with GMG WCGT centerlocks instead because I convinced myself something forged was a must for the less than ideal roads in my city. I did have a set of OZ Ultraleggeras on one of my former Audis though, ran them daily, and they held up well to harsh roads and occasional potholes.

I have a set on order which I am told is shipping in the next few days. I will report back.

 

Have you considered going down a notch to 18" wheels? There are a handful of choices, plus, you get a much broader range of track tires (both DOTs and race slicks) to select from.

I just bought a set of Forged Alloys Tech1-110 in 18" myself.

You're gonna have an absolute blast with your new car! But, keep your ATM card handy at all times!

 

The OZ wheels look nice, always heard good things about them.

also, i have a set of HRE c90 centerlocks for sale for a great price. Hardly used.

 

A friend runs 'em on his .1 RS (5 bolt) that sees frequent hard track use. They have held up very well, are lighter & less expensive than stock wheels, & look good too.

 

agree ^

 

I like them, but they do remind a little to much of the factory wheels. Not that it is a bad thing, but when replacing my wheels I don't want something that looks to similar to what I just replaced.

 

Thanks for the responses. I may give them a shot. rlips, let me know how they work out for you.

 

I love my 19" HRE P40 CLs ...

 

I'm sure you do...not in the same price range though.

 

The only thing I would caution on those wheels, do use tape to hold the wheel weights on, otherwise, because of the finish, they fall off rapidly during tracking.

 

I agree with you on that one! I experience that with my previous Cayman S and those wheels.

 

O.Z. deliver on the quality in their brand. This is a wheel we've seen on historic cars for decades. I've had 50K+ miles on OZ Racing wheels on performance cars with no trouble. Can't speak to local support, but tirerack is solid when there's a problem. I find OZ remarkably below market price for comparable imported wheels.
