Default New sneak peak OZ for 2013

OZ racing is proud to announce the brand new Formula HLT for 2013. OZ's High Light Technology (HLT) process uses rollers to compress and elongate the material along the barrel of a low-pressure cast aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This process, which is directly derived from O.Z.'s experience in F1, produces wheels that are extremely light and strong. The flow forming process and the HLT technologies combine to create mechanical characteristics similar to those of a forged wheel. This permits a dramatic reduction in wheel weight while enhancing structural rigidity vs. a standard cast wheel.

Exact fitments and pricing is upcoming, but we expect a wide range of 5-bolt sizes and applications similar to the very popular Ultraleggera and Alleggerita.

wheel looks good, but im not a fan of the center lock writing on the center cap when its not a centerlock wheel. But i guess thats required when its a center lock look on a non center lock wheel.

never understood why tirerack doesn't post all sizes and offsets available for each wheel instead of only the recommended range for each application, which is often even less aggressive than stock

Let's see this bad boy, and I agree, you should be able to choose your wheels by sizes on Tire rack... The only reason I go on there is to see what's on clearance.

*UPDATE*

We have now added this wheel to our site and application lists. Stock is expected by March just in time for spring. There are two center cap options included with the wheel, the center lock cap and a normal OZ center cap. Both versions are shown below.
