Title: OZ wheels
Post by: Awry on 26 November 2010, 14:00: Hi!

I'm going to buy a set of winter wheels and was offered a good deal on OZ wheels. Anyone have any opinions on these wheels. They seem to be subtle enough while still being sporty to me.

My GTI is a 2-door reflex silver btw.

I'm also open to any suggestions to other OZ, Dotz or AEZ, Enzo or Dezent wheels as these are the brands I get good prices for. I'd really appreciate some help on choosing. :)

Thanks
Awry

Steve: Have you stored all these wheels?

Nope, I sell them on when I am done with them, I typically have one set on the car and one set in the car (for both my Mk6 and my Mk2 GTI).

Post by: Awry on 30 November 2010, 18:19: Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm getting a huge discount on OZ so I'm going to stick with those wheels.

I've narrowed the choices down to two wheels. It will be OZ Ultralaggera HLT or Michelangelo 10. I can't seem to make up my mind.

OZ Michelangelo 10

So...which of these wheels would you prefer? :smiley:
Title: Re: OZ wheels
Post by: Ess_Three on 30 November 2010, 18:30: Ultralaggeras.

Those other things are just too bling for my liking.

Post by: R32UK on 30 November 2010, 18:41: never been a fan of OZ's. Although some of their wheels are nice they are very rarely suited to a golf :undecided:

I chose the OZ Michelangelo 10s above all others. Loverly!!!! :wink:
