Question

I am going to change my standard WRX03 17" wheels with 17" Gold OZ SuperL ET48 and have read many times that OZ recall them or at least stopped their production as they are very fragile.
Can someone confirm the above and if OZ releases a new version of SuperL?

Did speak to a big company (will not mention who) who 'use to' supply these, and they stated they had alot sent back as they kept buckling, it also does'nt help running low profile tyres.

Had some 17" and found very soft, edges kinked on 2
Now got 18" Prodrive version and they seem much better

Had 18'OZ Super L's on my P1. First set went back cos the paint fell off and when they arrived one of them shattered within 2days.
Had to go to bristol for new one, when i got there they were different shades of gold. Had all 4 replaced, a month later one of them buckled on a pothole. It is a lovely rim but i darent put them back on the car while i drive it around Swansea.
