Cool Wheels

Went to the dealer today for 5000 mile service (01 IS300) and to get 4 (dealer recomended) 17 inch snow tires put on ($145 each plus mounting and balancing and tax). I saw that they had these 17 x 7 inch super light weight "OZ" wheels on sale for $350 each. Is that a good deal, has anyone else bought these wheels? Thought I'd keep the snows on the factory wheels and put my regular tires on these light weight replacement wheels. By the way new stock 17 inch wheels are $525 each from the dealer so I was told, that makes the "OZ's" sound like a bargin but then sometimes you just get what you pays for; if you are lucky!.

Are you referring to the OZ Superleggera? If so, they are very very light but the dealer's price is high. I can get a much better price, email for details. We are licensed OZ dealers.

Lee, what is your e-mail address? I visited your website but couldn't go anywheres on the site, only saw the wheel and a date of 1/31/02, what gives. My e-mail address is bahtenterprises@msn.com, send me the specifics on the wheels.
Thanks!
