Default OZ Wheels that are NOT on Tire Rack -- Can Tire Rack order them?

The OZWheels.com web site has some killer wheels that are not available at tirerack.com. For my area, TireRack is listed as the only OZ dealer. Does that mean that TireRack will order ANY OZ wheel?

I especially like the Opera II and Opera III.

Default Try Performance Alloys ------->

<a href="http://www.performancealloys.com">PerformanceAlloys.com</a>

They carry most of the OZ line not available in the states ... and shipping to the US is *free*!

Some AWers have had problems with them in the past. Me and Boostd (Chris) just ordered Silver Superleggeras from them this week and so far so good (UPS claims to have picked them up for delivery).

FWIW -- OZ Opera II starts at $2,300 a set for 18".

Default Re: OZ Opera II wheels.

The Tire Rack used to carry Opera II, but not anymore. I paid $2,160 for OZ Opera II wheels (2 18x8 ET35 &amp; 2 18x8.5ET 35, 5x112) at Tire Rack before they ran out of them and as I understand have no plans to carry them again. Best looking wheel IMO for any midium(A6/S6) to large(A8/S8) car in Audi or MB line-up. (Also looks great on BMWs and large Japanese cars, like Lexus LS/GS, as these wheels are made to fit them too. Jaguar even has a special deal with OZ to fit them on their cars as well). Above wheels also fit all Audis except TT, most of the MB modes: E-210, C-202/203, CLK-208/209, SLK, even S/CL-220/215 and VW Passat.

BTW Im in NYC, and my mint set is for sale to a local buyer for about $1,600. Part numbers are OR880MXS and OR885MXS - both have MSRP of $640 each. If anyone is interested, let me know.

OZ is running an incredible sale on Opera II and III wheels, but none in 5x112 bolt paterns - in other words Opera II and III wheels that they have on sale do not fit Audis.

Default If their site is accurate, they have amazing stock and great prices. I'm dubious.

They have DOZENS of wheels that fit; many more than tirerack. I used the 2000 S4 as my guide since they don't distinguish between the various A6s. 2000 2.7T has HP-2. If I used their fitment guide, there would be problems. Of course, I also question the S4 fitments. They have a large selection of 16" wheels that fit, and while I believe that's possible, I do not think it is correct.

Default I wouldn't buy an unknown fitment without first checking (with them or the mft directly) ...

The site could easily be set up to list every product regarless of what vehicle you input.

It's good to be suspicious! : )

Default Re: OZ Wheels

NOt exactly. OZ USA cannot get every wheel that OZ Italy produces for the US market. We offer what products OZ will offer for the NA Market, so the ones as you see on OUR website willtell you what is offered and available.

Best to call me with any questions on any of them!<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Fwheels%2Foz%2Foz.jsp">OZ Wheels we handle</a></li></ul>
