Pictures of OZ wheels on Dark Blue S2

[hbaumhardt]

I need to chose between silver and black finish for some OZ wheels, so anyone got pictures of either on a dark blue (Cobalt/Nightfall) S2 ?

Less cleaning with black but silver could be more exclusive (only ever seen on bobsan's motor).

Whilst I appreciate your opinion, I am actually after the PICTURES.

another vote for black.

silver wheels are apita to clean too. Just had my std wheels powder coated because I couldn´t get them clean.

OK I dont like the look of the OZ for a start, and from the photo they are not improved in silver. Mmmmmmm must try not to spend mony.

Image boy. You're right though, the spider's are a lot better looking.

I have a great idea. Stay on the standard wheels, disconnect 2 of your spark plugs and then on the next trackday we can have a competitive race against one another. Should be a close run thing.

7 x 16 with 195/45 R16 or 205/45 R16
8 x 17 with 225/40 R17 or 235/40 R17 oder 245/35 R17
inclu adapters, those are OZ Chrono Evolution

and those are Oz Nova

those are both from OZ and I like those two types a lot(us) and most are lifgtweight from OZ so thats good too
I think one of them comes in a grey/titanium tint? the other alu look...

Take a look at the nightfall blue sportracer. They come with the silver wheels. Looks awesome IMO (Maybe I am biased, as I am getting silver wheels for my NFB Exige).

Ordered a set of black OZ's from Hanger 111 last week for my S2 - feckin' expensive, but made use of their 0% option, so should keep Mrs N quiet!

Doing my first track day in 2 weeks at Silverstone, so should be nicely 'scrubbed' in by then

Oh, only piccys I can find are on www.hanger111.com - not on an S2 though

*** MY OZ WHEELS WILL BE BLACK ***

thanks everyone for the pictures, advice and guidance :up

[hbaumhardt]

Ohhhhhhhh YEAH ! After a *lot* of talk and messing about I finally got my OZ racing wheels and A048 tyres. For the record a before and after comparision of the original 8 spoke spiders vs. the OZ wheels in black.

I prefer the delicate look of the originals, but am gonna LOVE the extra cornering the A048 rubber will provide on track.

AWESOME

[hbaumhardt]

Oh and thanks to BJ's reverse parking skills, a new front clam as well. Memo: bring cones to Bedford to place around BJ's car

[bjc388]

... "cones" don't hit back ...

I must say that indeed those 8 spoke spiders are very nice on blue and titanium and black cars...black is beutiful, but those spiders are too
Also black wheels come in different types too, and those silver/grey spiders are better wheels then most silver standard elise/exige wheels.

I too prefer the look of the spiders over the OZ rims.... but now you have some good looking rims for the street and some good performing rims for the track

I'm just lucky that I love the look of my rims and they're Magnesium track jobbies.... two birds with one stone

That looks awesome. And you've inadvertantly helped me with a decision too
