You could try OZ's website, but I don't think those are going to come cheap. I believe those are the rims running on the rally cars, which are custom made, light weight magnesium (?) so unless your making a rally car, look elsewhere.

wow.. those look custom made for rallying. Pretty cool if you had a "real" rally car. I would get em if I had one.

Well...if he's going all-rally, they'll tend to work well for that. Don't try to win any shows with those on though.

Those are some hardcore rally rims. I saw the Lancer Evolution 7 @ JGTC (december) with those same exact rims.

Check out Enkei's 'Tarmac Evo' . They're white and in 5 spoke. It has that 'functional' design in it. I doubt that they're in our bolt pattern and pcd. You could check it out if you have the chance. Just sharing that's all.

Yhea, they look just like the OZ rally wheels that were used on the EvoVII...but those weren't 4 lug...and if you look at those wheels, that's not the OZ trademarked font. Those are some knockoff copycats.

I like the wheels, but they only look good on red =)

Anyway, good luck finding the real ones, I don't think OZ makes them with a 4 lug pattern.

I think they've had those rims on many different rally cars, I've seen toyotas, mitsubishis, dodge, ford, etc.. with rims very very similar to them. For the street, they'd be useless, you hit a pothole, and they're broken. If they're the real ones, they're made of magnesium, which is very light, but not suitable for abuse.

I've also seen them on the Evo VI rally car. Those are good looking if you are going full tilt on the Rally side of things. More power to you bro...

^^ Yeah for rally they'd be perfect, light, small diameter and plenty of protection of the brake system within.
