[jdavis]

Finally got round to getting my 18" oz superturismo gt's.
Its absolutely filthy at the minute but her are some pics. Were taken just after fitting so back looks high because of that.

[LiamT4]

They look good.

Your car looks like my s60 with how high it sits at the rear lol

[merc85]

Looking good, i do like oz wheels.:smileypul

[stribo]

Looks good mate, there must be something in the air with all this wheel changing going on.

[foammanmark]

Think I might just swap mine around the cars rather than buying a set. I have a new 3 tonne jack to play with!

I have a 2 ton trolley jack, but I have to jack the car up with the standard jack first as the car's too low for the trolley jack. :slap:

Lol, I was exactly the same with my C70, until a coilover buggered up, and I'm now 3-4" higher at the back. Nivos on the rear for the time being at least.

Looking good

[V70 Graham]

Must say they do suit the car.

[copie22]

[Biff]

I like these.
As said I need new wheels!!! :(

[M-R-P]

very nice J.

like posh tethys ;)

[steveyorks]

Like them! Different without being chav.

[jdavis]

Thanks guys. Impressed with them. Little bit more road noise/feel from the lower profile rubber though.

[rikcougar]

They look spot on John, did the damaged wheel need welding?

[Garett]

One of the few aftermarket wheels that look good and not the usual chavtastic.

Posh tethys lol!

Thanks Rik. it rolled out with no welding needed. guy said it was a simple job to be fair and that he'd repaired much worse!

[LeeT5]

Which tyres did you get? Is the profile correct, looks like it could be 10mm wider so that the shoulder of the tyre is square up. Looks like it's curving in...or is that the photo? Post a close up of the wheel and tyre as 'side on' as possible, can you?

There not really my cuppa tea, but if you like them, then I'm happy! One thing I will say.....pig to clean!

[jdavis]

They are 225-40-18 tyres. Been looking at some 235-40-18 Goodyear's but at the price of them they're going to have to wait

[M-R-P]

Just had a look and Avon ZV5 in the size you want cost as much each as 2 for mine (on offer).

Think I'll stick with 17"s lol.

Besides, they make my hooj brakes look even bigger ;)

Is that why you wear small pants ?

[M-R-P]

No but it could be why you shave your head :hilarious

[jdavis]

I won't fit Avon tyres. Had them a bad experience of the zz3 on my fiesta. The inside Tyre wall split on 2 of the 4 tyres

I wouldn't touch the ZZ3 either but the ZV5 is an excellent tyre, quite a few members have them, myself included.
