Got my Superleggeras!!!

My OZ Superleggeras came, god they're gorgeous! I've got em on 215/45s. The wheels are 17" but for some reason they are scraping the inside of the wheel-well on tight turns and big bumps! Weird huh? Anyways, here's the pics!

Maybe it's time to look into some wheel locks man. Don't want to see your wheels roll by...on another car.

Especially expensive-*** OZ wheels.

Lookin good.

Wow, what is th offset on those wheels? I think that is why you are scraping. A higher positive offset would pull the wheels closer to the car and keep them from touching the fenders (if that is what's scraping) You could have them rolled a bit I guess...

Wheel locks just slow them down a bit.. They do help don't get me wrong, but their not that hard to break off after pull on them a bit. We tested wheel locks for a school project once. They aren't as strong as you would think.

They rub because they are 215 in width, thats too wide for our cars. The offset is probably fine, looking at the rims they apear to have the correct negative offset, no telling if its the correct 40 mm or not....

They look great man.
