Pics of my new wheels! OZ Racing

and soon to be old wheels. I'm getting rid of them. It's hard to tell in these pictures, but the white on the wheels just doesn't quite match the mirros and roof

In case your wondering -- I thought I'd just post. They are OZ Racing Prodrive P1 rally wheels in 17 x 7 ET 42. I have them wrapped in Yokohama AVS ES100 215/45/ZR17 and there is absolutly no rubbing. My suspension is stock but with this offset, there is plenty of room to lower. The wheels are a little heavier and stonger than what I'm replacing them with. I have some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 wheels being forged right now in the uk. They will be in anthracite as I can't risk another white wheel not matching...They weigh 15.5 lbs in 17 x 7

Very nice car. I was looking at the same wheels for my MCS. But I have a BRG/B. Do you know if they are available in silver and are they easy to clean?

Cheers,

Just wax them inside and out before you put them on and washing is a lot easier.

Thanks for the wax tip, but does anyone know if they are available in other colors besides white?

Thanks...

Peter @ R-Speed should be able to hook you up with a set of Rota Tarmacs in silver. The tarmac is a P1 knockoff.

Thanks for the Team Dynamics recommendation. They look good too. This is probably beating a dead horse, but has anyone got center caps to fit? And if so, the specifics would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I made an adapter for the stock MINI center cap [40mm opening] for the Team Dynamics wheels [60mm opening].
