Any news about Superleggeras??

I was just wondering if the OZ Superleggeras were available for the 6 yet. Saw them yesterday for the first time in real life on an M5... Look very good and very light!! Me love them too much... (Just watched Full Metal Jacket a few days ago, which scene am I refering to??)

I though they were already available for the EVO 6, I've just ordered a set for my 7 (currently at Southampton Customs...apparently - should get them in a week)

Very good KK (Paint package working overtime) Don't suppose you can tune my car up in the same way - or do I have to pay for it like everyone else!

Sure, just email or pm me a pic of your car and I'll try and fit the wheels on.

Tony, saw the car in a car park in Düsseldorf, no camera I'm afraid
They were 18 inch and looked da bomb, as you say here in America
Billy, actually not right, it's the hooker that talks to Joker and when him and his mate try to haggle the price down she says:"I love you too much!" Anyway, "feeling good's good enough"... Where's that from?

Are they the right offset or did you have to use spacers?? What about 17s?

Yes I had to use 3mm shims as we discussed on the MLR forum a while ago + 5mm longer high tensile wheel studs.
Price was GBP 220 per wheel, purchased from my friends auto store.

Michael,

The wheel is still located on the centre of the hub/disc by an extended flange, so the studs and nuts are only keeping the wheel pulled hard against the disc as per standard set up, with only normal rotational shear loading. Also studs are uprated high tensile, so the set up is probably stronger than standard.
