Look what OZ racing sent me! *pics*

[J182sport]

:S who will machine wheels i wouldn't know anyone,what cost would be involved sounds expensive!

Im lowering about 40mm will it still scrub with that sort of drop?

I can only blame the company i brought them off tbh as i have to admit i don't/didn't know what offset was needed so trusted them to send the right ones! il call them tomorrow,

 

[Fred@BTM]

common problem unfortunately, they'll tell you that's what OZ recommend, but OZ don't take into account lowered cars or i assume the fact renault changed the car between 172 to 182

 

[happycallis]

Would ET37 off set be fine on a PH2 172 lowered by the same amount?

 

[J182sport]

Ok il find out, not jumping the gun but is it worth me fitting them? + 40mm drop.

 

[Fred@BTM]

on a 172 you'd be fine

pass to be honest, if i was desperate to fit a set of wheels onto a car then i'd MAKE them fit, but that's just me!

 

[J182sport]

I really want them fitted! but don't know who or where i could get them machined so they fit!? or il just just sort the arches out!!

il ring rimstyle and find out if there is another offset,

thanks again for your help

 

[Andyman]

I'd try them on first. You might be lucky

 

[cat171]

They look ace !! :approve:

 

[StevenMc29]

Look great. Get pics up of them once they're on the car. If the offset etc is okay

 

[Paul.]

very very nice! I would love a set with yellow writing

 

[Alex_X93]

Would strongly advise not to remove material from back of bolt face as it is a certain thickness for several reasons.

 

[J182sport]

Im not going to bother with getting them ground down im going to fit them and if need be il do arch work,they are going on!!! as you said it might fek the wheels up!

cheers il post pics soon as they are fitted thursday i hope..

 

[koi]

I take it with et37 they will sit 8mm further out than standard? offset confuses me lol

Guess that means coilies are out the window if they will scrub

 

[fUbAr]

They look awesome!

Stay away from the curbs...

 

[B7JLS]

This is a new colour i believe? well iv never seen them before and had to have them sent from italy as OZ aren't supplying for UK.a select few companys can get them.

i have some! mine were also imported from italy

(ultraleggeras)

 

[J182sport]

Curbs are going to be my biggest nightmare!!!

B7JLS-look great! just a question what offset are they?

 

[AlexG]

Nice.

Get some wheel sealant on there before you put them on.

 

[Compulsion]

Gotta say mate there bloody nice dont tell me where you live car will be on bricks haha jokes mate. where you get em from?

 

[J182sport]

ha! got them from rimstyle mate waited a while for them but well worth it as they have to get them direct from italy.

Alex il be doing that yes il also be washing them with care do not want swirls on them:dead:

[J182sport]

[Scadden182]

Oh i say, they are rather fetching

+1

 

[Compulsion]

Lol sweet mate very nice. DONT KERB EM haha you'll be driving everwhere 5mph to make sure no mistake in the world can be made.

 

[Jonny1*2]

*fills his pants*

Look sweeeeeeet.

 

[Naith]

jammy cnut.

u'll love abit of unsprung mass

 

[R172]

They look lovely mate, really nice. But there definately not 5kg's, the ultraleggera which is the lightest O.Z wheel is about 6kg in 16inch. I got quoted 9.5kg's for these in 16x7inch...

 

[oz_clio]

sweet, like mine in white.

is the 'OZ Racing' paint a special order, looks a bit dayglow on my screen?

 

[J182sport]

Thanks for the comments im gettting them fitted tommorow going to get up detail the car and take it down im just putting some sealent on them now!

they where made to order not stocked so thats why it took a while and cost more there going up in price very soon i was told!

as for weight im sure the Kg on the back of the wheel is 5.5kg

pics you can't see but there is a ( . ) between the 5 and the 15!

if thats not the weight then i don't know what is!

 

[R172]

LOL im pretty much 100% sure there not 5kg's but like i said they are damn nice wheels mate so dont let that put you off! Good purchase...

 

[happycallis]

Ya got them fitted yet?

 

[J182sport]

Got down to my mates at ATS today and they said it was too busy to fit them:dapprove: i told them to fit the wheels for me as i have sold my team dynamics and wanted to get them packed ready! so no pics until its sitting proper and i want to get them taken in a good light

But i can say they look awesome really happy with them and they look just right in the arches not sitting far out like i was worried about!

booked in for 9am sat so proper pics then!

well happy tho!!


cheers

[koi]

so no scrubbage then, what size of tyres you running?

 

[franx]

PICS ASAP Lowered a bit too ?

I'm planning on going 7mm/8mm further out too ! The Seer on here has already done it but no pics of his car

I bet they recommended 195 tyres ? (205 WOULD give scrubbage ?)

Very interested here !!

Me too which is why I have so many questions lol

 

[mbarnes]

weight of the ultraleggera is 6.46kgs for the 16x7 so dont think these will be 5 odd as said.

look nice though

[mbarnes]

just going off the Oz website

 

[franx]

pics :quiet:

 

[chrispy.clio]

Ooooo they look great, get some rubbers on and then take some pics with them on the car

 

[J182sport]

Can't wait till tomorrow morning! getting it all sorted and il get some good pics of it and all the info you want on scrubage!! the wheels are on and on standard ride hight its fine but you would expect that.

Il get pics of the car from other angles you can see they sit great on the car,the wheels look big compared to the other wheels due to the spokes, really fill the fat arches! i supose the slightly diff offset putting them 5mm or so out, than the 42ET wheels i had on,

The wheels are fitted with 195/45/16 Yokohama S drives really good tyres but when they are due for a change il be getting the Mich Exalto's

as for weight 6.4kg ain't too shabby!


Again thanks for all the great feedback
