Well im getting those 1000$ Oz f1 plus 17ich mags with the tires on em from my bud in Vancouver.Cant wait to finaly have some wheels that stick and look better then destroyed plastic covers.

nice nice... most wheel places say that OZ wheels are the best manufactured.. when they put them on the wheel balancers, they only need like 0.0001 gram weights to adjust them perfectly! mind you, that kind of adjustment practically isnt necessary since you wouldnt notice that sort of imbalance under normal driving conditions.

good choice..

my rim choice is top secret, which basically means i havent decided :smile:

When putting weights on a wheel/tire combo, it's not the wheel that you're balancing. It's the tire. :grin:

Only thing i hear is that these mags are heavy and that they are solid as hell.

I liked your OE hub caps. They looked better then my Crappy tire ones :grin:

Nice deal! Can't wait to see 'em.

SW20 MR2 · 08-08-2001, 01:55 PM

Yep, that's why I'm not really a fan of OZ wheels. They look good, but I'm a fan of forged Japanese wheels, which also cost a lot. :grin:

18inch Oz superlegeras will be my next wheels when i got the money.Right now its juct about having good handling.

One G for those F1s and rubber is an AMAZING price!! Go for it!! :grin:

Do I hear a hint of envy when you talk about the Superleggeras?? :grin:

Jzs147-RR · 08-08-2001, 08:10 PM

For sure your a lucky guy man those rims look so sweet on your car.

SW20 MR2 · 08-09-2001, 06:39 AM

I think the Superleggera's are actually lightweight. Nice looking too!

Jzs147-RR · 08-09-2001, 11:44 AM

Superleggera's are my first choice but they are too expensive for now.This is the point that get me lost if i buy those i will not be able to afford them for a while,so if i just get the oz F1 for now at least i got some more style to my car.This is what confuses me should i buy the F1 or just wait until i saved enough for the Superleggera's??

***Ratko*** · 08-09-2001, 11:58 AM

unless you plan on saving till next spring, which will be the only other time to get rims, get the F1's for now... remember that winter is coming, enjoy what is left of the summer and fall with some F1's then save over the winter for Superleggeras.

SW20 MR2 · 08-09-2001, 12:09 PM

If you will be able to afford the SL's next Spring, just wait. You'd only be using the F1's for a few months anyways. Why waste money now to buy something that you don't really want? You'll regret it if you don't buy what you want.

Jzs147-RR · 08-09-2001, 12:12 PM

good point maybe i will just stick with my sleeper look for now.Im starting to get confused again but i can see the logic in waiting and not wasting my money.But im sure i could always sell them to someone else too when i get my SL's.
