All depends on what price i can get.

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?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
