My car currently has 22b wheels that were fitted by the first owner at great expense. They're very nice and have the correct centrecaps and STI castings, but...theyre only 16inchers.

In my Garden shed I have a set of 17in Gold OZ Superlegerras that came off of a crashed P1 last year (some of you may remember I arranged exclusive sale of that cars salvage parts on this BBS). Some of the wheels need a refurb but I dont know which will look best.

Ive stuck one on the front of the car, without a tyre for the effect.


Which look best?

I dont know whether the OZ's would actually look better in Athracite?. It would hide the brake dust, if nothing else.

Question

22B wheels only 16 inch?
i take it these are replicas then as the 22B alloys are bigger than 16 inch!
(also have a different offset to normal scoobs)

Tony

PS, prefer the ones at the front

Yep, I'd go with the oz but in anthracite, look good with silver.

Aye, I think they might not be actual 22b ones, as the car is not wide bodied. But the firest owner did import them at great expense from japan and they have got the correct sti castings and carbon STI centre caps?.

The fronts are lightweight superL's and not superT's as the spokes are different. They only owe me £200 so im not too worried.

i think a refurb in anthracite is on the card though. Trouble is the 16's have got new So3's

Those rear wheels are real BBS 22B look-alike wheels which STI in japan marketed for the 'regular' STI's (as opposed to the 22B)
They are probably alot lighter than the OZ's. I think they look alot better btw.
