Opinion on alloys

What does everyone think of these for a black civic coupe? They come in 4 colours but I think the silver would go best.

I like them. Those Velox wheels should look good on your car.

Guy over on the civic forum just bought a set and they look great. Unfortunately the company selling them on groupbuycenter doesnt ship to the UK and the buy has finished now :mad:

I'm sure you will find something like it in the uk. Maybe team dynamic diablo's pictured below. They even come in the proper offset for civic's.

Only thing is they are getting very popular.

I like those rims a lot.

Yeah I like them too :cool:

Nice rims, I like 'em. They look pretty light too.

I think one of the best (street-legal) lightweight wheels you can get in europe is the O.Z. Superleggera. Personally I´d buy it immediately if they would offer it in 7x17". But they don´t....:mad:

19lbs if i remember rightly..Thats for 17x7.5

I love those O.Z. wheels as well :D They now come in a 17x7" with an offset of +45 perfect for your lude Veetec. The 17x7" only weigh 7kg. They also have a 18x7" which weighs 8kg.

Ive had a look at their site and I cant find where I read 19 lbs so im not sure anymore.

Ill keep looking though.

http://www.oz-boutique.com/OZ_wheel_imgs/lrg/front_wheel_004.jpg WHAT? Are you sure? Where have you found them????:confused: That would be cool because I might get a very good deal on them! 17"x7 would be perfect!!:)

Click HERE (http://www.oz-boutique.com/OZ_html/fitment_guide.asp?model_ID=174&make=Honda&year=2000&wheel_ID=4) for details. As far as I know all O.Z. wheels are cast/forged in Italy so we should be able to get them in Europe.

Those OZ wheels are very nice.
Wont go well with my civic, only an offset of 37 on 17s :(

The 18s will rock on a lude tho

But it seems to me that it is only available in this size (17"x7) in the states. Neither the german O.Z. website nor the original italian one is offering them!!!:(

The 37 offset for the Civic is a pain although they have a 18x7 for the Civic in a 42 offset which is perfect. If we had better roads in Ireland I'd probably get them.

I saw the German & Italian sites as well, but they don't seem to be updated as quick as the US site. I do know that O.Z. have just recently introduced a load of new wheels.

I would love 18s but I have no idea how to roll the arches and im pretty sure they would rub like hell as standard.

With a 215/35 tyre I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get any rubbing even lowered 35mm. A 17x7 wheel with 205/40 tyres is a diameter of 23.5in, a 18x7 wheel with 215/35 tyres is a diameter of 23.9in. Only 0.4in in the difference. Not that much difference.

Maybe I should just give them a call and ask them! But I´m not really sure if I would buy them yet because I like the way how my Lude is looking lowered on stock rims, too! (I´m changing my ideas all the time! :rolleyes: :D )

Nice rims Balddog, very nice.

but those Superlegera's.... I've wanted those since the day they came out. If only they were available in 16" whith a +45 offset...

IMO the O.Z. Crono Evolutions are damn nice, too! But they´re looking very heavy to me...:(

I must agree with that
I like them OZ Chronos too

They kinda look like the Enkei rims they use in the World Rally Championship on the Pug 206 WRC

http://www.folieseal.nl/enkei.jpg True! That´s also a damn nice rim! Where could I get it and do you know if it´s street-legal?

I think these are only availeble with an 37 or a 38 offset

Nice rims tough.
