Are they split rims...had some on an FTO and they were a bugger for keeping the tyre pressures right.

Not a bad wheel and will probably look ok as they're going to be 18's

But not my cup of tea, I prefer thin spoke alloys like Supper Leggeras and Super T's etc

Very flash, I like them. If you are serious about getting rid of your old wheels you can drop me a line. I may be interested in them depending on price and condition.

I like your Oz wheels, the others look cheap & nasty by comparison (all imho)

How about getting your Oz's powder coated in Gold?

I prefer the 1st choice over these, plus if you happen to damage wheel choice 2 then you may have a problem getting a new spare etc.

I still prefer your super oz.

Still indesisive for what i should do...

I am about to buy 4 new tyres as i need them...also was thinking of getting the wheels refurbed... All costing roughly £650!

Only reason i am looking to change, is that these are a pain to clean...

It is difficult to find the right wheels, correct offset, looks, & easy to clean?

As for the refurb £65 a wheel sounds expensive. Even though my front wheels could do with a refurb, but that will only happen once my tyres wear, then I will switch to 225.35.18

I would keep on hunting for new alloys if your fed up with the oz

I think I did see some alloys which looked nice (silver) make ACS or something not sure or could be ACE.

Default Devil H109 Hyper Silver Alloy Wheel 8x18

I think one set of wheels were similar to these, not sure if they clean well though.
