OZ Superleggera in 17" for Evo??

I want these wheels so bad, but they don't have a fitment for the Evo. Does anyone now if they are planning to come out with a 17x8 or 9" with an offset that will clear our Brembo's???

I was looking at the "Chrono Evolution", but I don't see whether it's available in a 17x8 that would fit the EVO.

(The O-Z site is big on flash, but short on content.)

I am not showing the one piece OZ Superleggera will work, however, the OZ Superleggera III will work. Unfortunately, the only size currently is 18". But hey, that could be cool!

I know, the site sucks a fatty. Oz website
Neal, I appreciate that, but I wanna stay with 17's. Call me crazy, but I've had two cars in a row that I ended up going down a size in aftermarket rims bacause of performance and drivability loss and it gets quite expensive. OZ is missing the boat on this one, I've talked to a ****load of Evo owners interested in these in 17" fitment, let alone all the inquiries I've seen on this site in the past. ****, I want those bad.

Anyone know what the SCCA cars are running for rims?

A lot of the WRC teams seem to be running O-Z (as does Williams F1), but from the pix, it looks like the SCCA machine might have the white Enkeis from the tarmac EVO.

In other pix, it looks like its wearing the Compomotive -- which I wouldn't think would fit the EVO8.

The specs page on the mitsu motorsports page only specifies 17" rims ... which would pretty much count out the Compomotives.

Yeah,

I really wanted the Superleggeras as well, but so far no fitment. I thought I had read on Nasioc that there was going to be a version to clear the brembos for the STI and the EVO.

We'll see I guess.

There's a pic somewhere around here of an older EVO with the Superleggeras...

Take care,

neal, you're right, I'm just getting antsy because some idiot cut me off and my right rear wheel scraped the curb, it's pretty ugly. anyway, I really hope they come out with a fitment.

Man, that is why I love the Tire Rack, everytime I ordered something from you guys service was prompt, curtious and correct. I really appreciate your help, and can't wait to hear what OZ has to say. Thanx Neal.

I just got off the phone with OZ...the only thing they have on horizon right now are the 18" Super III's that we already know work. Great wheel, however, that is the only one scheduled to be produced.
