How wide? How light?

[Guest INASNT]

17 x 7 and 17 x 8.

as for how light not 100% sure, they r forged so alot lighter than the stockes or chrome rims

Wanna take one off and weigh it? Ok with tyre on.

Heres the info from the oz racing website

Superturismo

The historical wheel of O Z production was created for rally circuits, the racetracks of Le Mans and for Supertourism. The racing version, which equipped the Audi R8s, won the first four positions in the American Le Mans Series in 2002; in the WRC it carried Marcus Grönholm to victory in his Peugeot 206 and in the European Supertourism Championship, it brought Fabrizio Giovardi to the podium with his Alfa 156 GTA. Sixteen spokes of pure power, perfectly designed to exalt the vehicle's performance, favour cooling of the braking system and avoid rim ovalization due to stress. O Z has transferred design perfection and field tested racing technology to the wheel that summarizes better than any other the slogan that has always animated the firm: "from the track to the road", for the safety of those who love sports driving.

We sue OZ on the Accord, BMW and Carina supertourer, I know the story. But there are different weights, need ot know how much these ones are.

[Guest INASNT]

i cbf taking the wheel off at the moment man, but i did have to change 1 of the back tyres recently coz of a puncher and i would say the weight would be about 4-5 kg with the 255 40 tyre on.

Hi Denham,

I kinda like ur wheels, but I got insurance to pay this month and just paid rego last month, so my pocket a bit hurt and light....

If you still have them in the next 2 months, maybe I'll give you a decent offer.

are you sure the backs are 8 inch wide cause they are taking those 255s pretty well and i thought that 255 was too wide for 8 inch. correct me?

i will measure them properly and let u know tomorrow!

rianto

i was looking at getting rid of em prety soon

Sixteen spokes of pure power

for a while one would have thought the manufacturer to be japanese...

however i'd think ur estimate of the weight is a tad under...

i would say the weight would be about 4-5 kg with the 255 40 tyre on.

a racing hart cp035 wheel in 17x8 weighs over 6kg and a volk racing te37 wheel in 17x7.5 weighs nearly 7kg so to think an oz racing superturismo in 17x8 weighs 4-5kg, i'd think that's being very optimistic because they are cast, not forged:uh-huh: ... something more like 10-11kg a corner is more conservative, and that's without tyres...

edit: happy easter!

i meansured em tody with a ruler coz i could find my measuring tape. The fronts are around 23cm wide and the rear around 27cm wide

[aybee]

23cm is a touch more than 9 inches

27cm is a bit over 10.5 inches.

those are quite wide if the measurements are correct!

maybe call up the place you got them from?!

from the looks of how the 235s and 255s are sitting theyre probably around 8 front and 9 rear

anyway, good luck with the sale, what rims you after now?

They came on the car when i bought em from the importer, he was gonna take em off before he sold em and put some other crappy rims on but i told him i wouldnt buy it unless he left those rims on the car

I am after some deepdish rims, not 100% sure what type yet.

Sydneykid
