Cheaper buying OZ Racing wheels which look far better

Hey thanks for the advice. I've already fallen in love with these...



Aus OZ distributor is quoting $484 a corner. Much better than 3k!

But after seeing Bigfoot's rims, I'm starting to think grey is the new black for hot wheels. Good thing I've months to search and decide!

The APR test car has the black OZ Wheels, very nice indeed. I prefer the graphite version rather than black for a white Polo GTI

Wow nice album there. I'm still unsure how I feel about gloss black wheels against the white polo though.

wonder what the big brakes are worth...

Any idea on the weight of each rim?

8.5kg

After seeing the APR car, I'm starting to agree. Too much contrast with the black. Graphite it will be!

But what are the opinions on white rims on a white GTI?

Guy_H posts about it here.

The Alcon's are better value than the Brembo's. Whilst their 2 piece kit is a bit more than Brembo's 1 piece kit, Brembo's two piece kit is over $4k....

The best thing about the combination of those OZ Racing Rims weighing only 8.5kg, is the combination with them and the Alcon's saving you HEAPS of unsprung rotational weight (the worst type of car weight). Each brake saves 8kg alone. I wonder what the weight of the stock Polo GTI Rim is?

Boring

Much prefer black rims on white.
Although, black rims on a white car are being done to death on the Golf R... They even have a nickname... Storm Troopers. lol
