Default OZ Vela 3 pc.

Has anyone seen or have an opinion on the OZ Vela 3 piece wheel? I am considering 265/35/18 rear (10") and 245/40/18 front (8.5")

The thing that bothers me is the bolt pattern around the lip. It seems as though the rim is too busy for the SC.

Any opinions??

Well, hoops, if you want a 3pc wheel, you'll have to tolerate those bolts, they're holding the halves and lip together. I think they're tight, especially staggered. Didn't you recently get you Konig's though? Bored already?

I saw a set of 23 inch Velas at HIN. Dang, they were huge.




No, that's not me. I just used his head for size reference.


What offset would be correct for an 18x10 wheel in the rear of an SC400?

Personally, I don't like the design of the Vela's...just not my style...

There are a few multi-piece wheels that don't have the "bolts" (as they're on the inside rather than the outside)...

Check out the WHEELS Forum...I'll be posting some new wheels up there, maybe you'll find one you like...
