Car Wheels > BBS Car Wheels > RC

* 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, ...

oz superturismo wrc 17 inch 4 stud THE BOMB !!

Advantages: great look.improved handling
Disadvantages: easy to scratch.bumpy ride.

these wheels are the BOMB!!! i no two people who have these wheels on two diffrent cars and they both look amazing.these wheels give a really good effect as your driving down the road. iv seen them on an impreza and they look really good but i think they look better on a sierra cosworth. these wheels are really delicate you cannot skim or drive up kirbs because you will scratch the wheels or at the worst you could buckle or bend the wheel.you also ...
...fades the paint and its really hard to get it off it can stain your wheels but you can always get them reconditioned for approximately thirty pound a wheel. the advantages of having these wheels is being able to fit low profile tires and increase the handling of your vehicle but fitting these wheels with low profile tires will give you a bumpy ride so i wouldnt advise you fitting these to your car if you like a smooth drive. ...

Review of Oz Superturismo WRC (17 inch) 4-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 ...

Review of Oz Record (16 inch) 5-stud

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

Oz Superturismos

Advantages: Good looking, help cool brakes
Disadvantages: can be expensive, not available to fit every car

...went to get them. Oz wheels are a racing car brand and Superturismos are fitted to famous rally cars, used in World Rally Championship. They have 16 spokes which are brilliant for cooling hot brakes down by letting air flow get to them and also this helps avoid rim ovalization due to stress. I specifically wanted this as I have rather large brakes at the front of my car. They are a very popular wheel often put on cars by car enthusiasts mainly ...
...ice white colour with red Oz racing decals in the centre with a stylish carbon fibre centre cap to finish them off nicely They are quite a heavy alloy wheel compared to some of the lightweight brands but this does not effect the cars performance at all. There are limited fitments of this specific wheel so it might not be available to fit straight onto your car without need for other things such as spacers. The ideal tyre size to fit these is 195/50/15 ...
