Default Any experience with OZ wheels

I looking for new wheels for my 06 GS300.

I'm looking at the Superturismo GT. Does anyone have direct experience with this wheel or wheel company?

I'm also open for suggestions for other makes in a similar style.

Thanks for any help.

never owned OZ, but they are very good wheels. race teams in Champ Car, Indy, and maybe F1 use OZ wheels. if OZ can make wheels that can handle speeds beyond 200mph, there street wheels should be pretty good. OZ also makes Hamann wheels.

OZ makes some of the finest, strongest wheels around and are fairly lightweight. They are used by exotics as well as in racing, which speaks for itself.

I am a huge fan of their wheels and company. For instance the SupraLeggra 3 is OEM equipment on th $250,000 Mercedes CLK DTM.

I'm a big fan of OZ Wheels as well. Only thing that sucks is that the style that I like isn't available in sizes or fitments I want. I guess that really doesn't matter either since the wheel I'm speaking has been discontinued.

Here's a picture of the wheel I'm talking about on my friend's VW



Classic 5 spoke, I just love it

The tires are stretched but it isn't a 'VIP' style car...it's actually on a Euro - my friends GTI

Here's a pic

How do you think the Superturismo would look on an 06 GS?

Wheel is similar to factory spokes just thinner and more of them. Don't want it to look like a rally car though.

Just to give you an idea as to how they would look. I did a quick P-shop of those wheels on a 2nd gen and 3rd gen GS
