 I've just got these for my 206. Only 15" but same weight as OZ Superleggera but £40 cheaper. |

Why are these links to pictures not working?  Anyway I chose the Kosei K1 Racing TS version as an alternative to the OZ. The OZ is not available at the moment due to there been casting probs in Italy. Also the Kosei is £40 per wheel cheaper. I only got the 15" but then I'm wanting as light a wheels as poss rather than good looking "big" wheels. |

Okay, I want a set of OZ Titans, but I don't want to change my rubber. My rubber currently is GY Eagle F1 205/45/16 ZR and the OZ's I want are 16" aswell to fit the tyre diameter, but will the rubber fit these wheels for width. Link to OZ sizes: www.thelegacycontinues.co.uk/OZ.htmOr what size wheel do I need to fit my rubber, the thing is my rubber has only done 1500 miles and I don't want to throw them away. *update*
Been to wheel shop today, can get them for a 206, and keep existing tyres, they will be the OZ Titan 16" x 7". They also need a special hub adaptor, which are another £15 for four, so in total - wheels including adaptors, swap tyres from my Nimrods to Titans, balance and fit - £600.00
Anyone better that. |

I've just purchased a set of Kosei K1 Racing wheels from Chris at www.thelegacycontinues.co.uk. www.bilprodukter.no/felg-dekk/bp16-K1.htmlChris has done his best to get the wheels at a good price which was better the Elite (Kosei importers) by £98 for 4 wheels/tyres. There was a mess up at Elite but I managed to sort that myself by ringing the Kosei European office in France and doing Elite's job for them. Drop him an email and he will get back to you the same day. Hopefully you'll get a good price. |

I'm not sure if I want to buy them online, but thanks for the tip and reassurance that they are good.
I don't want the hassle of getting them and the tyres don't fit or the local tyre company saying they won't fit my tyres on them rims. I need to know what size OZ's I've gotta order, thats why I am thinking of going locally.
But if I knew what to order, then I would be more confident and I wouldn't want to use the chap just for advice and not purchase, there is nothing worse than chasing a dead lead, if you know what I mean.

Try Motorsport Wheels as they are the UK importer of OZ wheels. www.mswuk.com |

Do they sell to the public, I thought they were import agents to dealers.

I don't think that they do, if you read the following URL www.mswuk.com/services1.htmIt says: "We do not sell to the public - strictly trade only"Unless you know different  See the thing is I want the tyres swapped over, so I only want wheels. I don't know if the local Kwik Fitt will do that. Most people sell wheel and tyre deals. You don't know if wheel shops do part exchange?? You see Nimrods for sale everywhere, and I don't know where to shift them too for a good price. |

I've purchased stuff from them......and many other members of the public have as well.
You will have to ring the nearest branch to you and see what they have to say.

Anyone better that. Further to this thread, I have tried to see how much the titans are from www.performancealloys.com, which are cheaper, that my price I got, but without the adaptor and fitting etc. However, when offered tyres to boot my new titans the only Eagle F1's on offer are 205/50/16, which leads me to now doubt wheather my 205/45/16's will fit these new rims. Any advance of info would put my mind at ease. I'm rather new to wheel and tyre configs, learning things like PCD and offsets. |
