Anyone has these wheels on his car?

Just wondering how they look with that red thing around the center lock. They cost less for 4 than 2 rear OEM Porsche wheels.

I've seen guys run them at the track with no issues. They look good too.

Although I'm trying to make my mind up between the forged version of these or Forgeline 3pc wheels these lower cost cast OZ's keep coming up in the back of my mind.

OZ on Cobalt & Basalt Blk

I sell them all the time for track applications and for the money have been pretty much 100% bulletproof. It's an outstanding wheel for the cost/weight/strenght.

TireRack is OZ's US distributor, so please call me if interested or if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

C4S: Thanks for the pics. They look great. I just bought a set in black and was wondering what they would look like with the grey CL nuts. Not bad at all. Can't wait to mount them on my car. I just can't justify black CL nuts at 2x the cost of greys just to be color coordinated at the track

Where did you see black CL nuts that cost twice as much?

I know Suncoast has the black ones priced like that, but that's only because the black versions they have listed include the entire assembly (inner cone portion, seals, etc) while the other set doesn't.

It was Suncoast and didn't realize it was the full assy. Does anyone sell just the back casing?

I've have run them in a 5 bolt version on my last car. The wheel is an amazing value. Light and strong. I see no downsides. I had a blowout, literally slid so hard sideways across the race curbing it ripped the tire off the rim. Other than the wheel being scuffed, not a single dent or bend. Two thumbs for these wheels. If they had made a proper fitment for my .1 GT3, I would have bought those instead of the CCW's I have now.

^^^ that's my Basalt Black, I switched to Black CL nuts when I went in for recall, no charge!

Any idea of the weight difference wrt the OEM wheels?

TRAKCAR

Don't know but the OEM are HEAVY.
My rears OEM 64lbs BBS 51lbs with tires.

The only number I know is that my rear OEM wheel + tyre (Pirelli Corsa) = 25.1kg.

mdrums

55.2lbs = 25.1kg

The Forged OZ (21.8lbs) with 305 Corsa (31lbs) would be 52.8lbs and the Cast OZ (27.1lbs) with Corsa would be 58lbs
