Oz Superturismo GT

Advantages: Lots of grip, good looking, help cool brakes
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Superturismo GT After having Oz Superturismo WRC's the white version of these wheels decided it was time for a change, and decided to find a cheap set of the GT's to spray black to go with the cars current modifying theme of black and red, so searched the internet for some a cheapish set to spray black, eventually found some on a Saxo owners club for under £100 complete with tyres, bargain!! Went all the way to Portsmouth to pick these up and ...
...come in silver with the Oz decals written in the centre in black. They also come with a stylish real carbon fibre centre cap that finishes them off perfectly. The tyres that fit these are easy to get hold of and are usually 195/45/15's which all tyre manufacturers produce so there should be no trouble getting hold of the tyres of your choice for these wheels. They are brilliant for road grip and being quite wide wheels have a big surface of grip ...

Review of Oz Superturismo GT (15 inch) 4-stud

BBS LM (Le-Mans) wheels - quality at a price

Advantages: look amazing and individual, handle the road well, ooze quality
Disadvantages: Over time the standard look will corrode easily, they are bloody expensive brand new!

BBS wheels come from Germany, America and Japan. They are a well known, well respected brand, that make good, solid, beautiful wheels for all sorts of cars. These are prestige wheels though, they are not cheap. A new set of BBS LM’s (Le-Mans) will set you back about £3,000 and that’s without tyres! The “deep dish” look is very popular in the VW modding scene and these wheels soon grew on me. They are popular, yet clearly the price is prohibitive. ...
...potential to corrode over time. BBS will swear otherwise, but I have some to prove it. As a result, my shiny new wheels were let down by their worn out, corroded bolts. You cannot buy direct replacement bolts, which can be a problem. I wont bore you with the story, but I did finally manage to acquire some, from Germany. I chose to go for gold plated bolts, that are corrosion resistant. They sit perfectly in the recess of the dish and look pretty ...

Review of BBS LM-4-Stud-10x18

Stunning

Advantages: Gorgeous to look at, real head turner, handling, road holding
Disadvantages: Possible tiny blemishes in finish to wheel (see review)

...rarest to find of the Fox Racing Evo 3 wheel series so i was lucky to find a set whilst searching for alloys for my car. Im currently in the process of mildly modifying my Vauxhall Corsa SXI and wanted a nice set of wheels for it and in my opinion these are some of the nicest wheels around. I went for the seventeen inch over sixteen and im glad i did and if your car can take seventeens i would reccomend it as they really do look good under the ...
...from Halfords for £400 with budger tyres which was a very good price but this was as there was a couple of minor scratches on them from being on display and being stored in the shop. Expect to pay between £550 and £600 for a set of these in perfect condition with budget tyres or a little more for a better quality of tyre. Iv noticed an improvement in handling since i fitted these due to the increased width of the wheel and tyre and the road holding ...

Review of Fox Racing 3 EVO Crystal (7.5 x 17) 4-stud

* A Wheely good review . . .

Advantages: Looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: Costs a fortune.

...am doing this review on BBS 18 inch 5 stud alloys, although most of the information also refers to all other alloys in general. Alloy wheels are actually alloys of aluminium, which contain copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or in this case magnesium. This makes them strong, and fairly corrosion resistant, but not completely, They can suffer from corrosion, but not rust like steel does. BBS is a world renowned manufacturer of alloy wheels, and their ...
...BBS supplies various F1 teams & their famous split rim alloy wheels, which are available for VW, BMW and Porsche and are amongst the most famous in the business. Although the company has been in the business for some considerable time, they have just recently (August this year) been taken over by a Belgian firm, Punch International NV. They were operating in receivership earlier this year, having problems because of the price of the raw material, ...

Review of BBS RC (8 x 18) 5-stud

Oz Record Alloy Wheels

Advantages: lightweight, stylish
Disadvantages: expensive

Oz Record 16" Alloy Wheels These are aftermarket alloy wheels that you can replace your own cars steel wheels or current alloy wheels with. This may improve handling but most of all the look of your car especially if you are changing these from having wheel trims, you will get a neater look around your wheel arch with less arch gap so it will look like the wheel actually wants to be part of the car. These alloys wheels have a flat, curved, five ...
...and becoming less effective. Oz Records have a carbon fibre centre cap which is in the centre of the wheel which finished the look and design of the wheels off nicely. They also have small Oz decals written on one of those spokes. These are 5 stud wheels and can be bought in various fitments all though you might need spacers to make them fit correctly, you may also need arch work doing so they do no rub and catch on the arches of your car. I picked ...
