Ok i am considering selling my rims and getting sumthing different.

All depends on what price i can get.

17inch OZ racing rims (forged so they are really light), a few scratches on them on the outer rings, fronts wearing 225 40's and rears wearing 255 40's, 95% thread left, front 85% thread left.

Looking For sensible offers.

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.

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.

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... :P

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! :D

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

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 :P

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

Sydneykid

So u wanna buy em?

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
