Wow, I never thought this rims are so beautiful, I like this yellow OZ writing on it. This is my *offset test rim* before I go and place an order on expensive Volk TE37's. All my 4 fenders are pulled about 1 inch. I payed 525 USD for the rims and 660 USD for the tires.

Rim specs: OZ F1 Cup in 7.5x16 inch offset 35mm, 44 lbs (20kg) on the scale damn rubber is kinda heavy, rim is about 10 kg (22lbs), color: anthrazit
Tires: Good Year Eagle F1, 225/45/16, diameter 608mm







Tomorow I'll mount those on my R, cause he is currently at the bodyshop for things like this:



Want to have some cooling effects on my turboed baby, some Mitsu EVO VII hood vents goes in there

nice...hury and mount them so I can see that too.

 

 

Why don't you keep these and forget the Volks? Are the Volks lighter?

 

One OZ is 10 kg and 1 rubber is 10kg and one Volk is only 5.5 kg

The crazy thing is, that my old 8.5x17 are also 10 kg, but the 225/35/17 rubber is only 8.5 kg. In fact my old setup was lighter.

Weight owns me

austrian type-R

what was the brand and model of your old rims? (The one you have in your online photo albums #1)

Thanks

 

I have always liked the looks of the OZ F1 Cup wheels... too bad they are so heavy.

 

For some reason I thought you would have pics of hot chix.

 

yeah man, where the hotties.....

 

What did you use to cut the hood?

 

A pair of pliers and a blowtorch!

 

We are going to want to see some pics of that...

 

The rims in my Photoalbum are called CR7 from the company CR Design, Germany.
Yeah, I hate it that the F1 cup are so extremely heavy.

PS: The chicks are in my photoalbum too.

 

Austrian Type-R is pioneering new things everyday, EVO cooling duct, only an Austrian is crazy enough to try that

 

Perhaps I should change my username into pioneer type-R

I really like the look of the OZ F1s, but they're way too heavy. Why can't they make a light set of F1s like the Superleggeras?

 

[Otto]Man thats flagrent false advertising!!!![/Otto]

 

Just a few things, first I could have told you those F1 Cups are heavy, even my old TRM Typhoon 16" rims on my old car were lighter. Also your tires are quite a bit larger than stock diameter. It will hurt your acceleration, you will be travelling faster than indicated on your speedometer, and the tire of course will be quite a bit heavier than a 205/45-16 or 205/50-15 or 215/40-16. I'm guessing you don't have rubbing problems since you had the fenders modified? 225 is pretty wide for an Integra.

 

225/45/15 Hoosiers fit fine on stock fendered Integras.

Also Hoosiers run very wide for their size.

 

i have had those wheels on my civic now for almost 4 years now. they have held up great. heavy wheels but great. the color fades after the years on the yellow writing though.

 

damn, I thought u were gona post pics of hot chicks

wheels look great! and plz post pics of the hood when it´s fitted on, I´ve yet to see a hoodscoop on a DC2 that actually looked good.. although I think this design is in the right direction

 

I think 225s will help more than hurt when he has (quoting from sig):

power to weight ratio lower than 3 kg per hp

--buji

 

Yep, correct!

I chosed that tire size for better acceleration 225

I chosed 45 for getting my power better to ground and 45 is better against wheel hooping

I chosed 16, cause of the weight (I'll switch to te'37 in the next month) and the only tire available that comes into mind for me.

I chosed the more diamter rubber for more speed in every gear.

THE NEED, THE NEED OF TOPSPEED ON GERMAN AUTOBAHNS !!!

Ps: I need those rims are heavy before I orderd. This is just an offset and wideness test rim for th Volk.
