OZ Superturismo WRC

Anybody know of any places in the USA that I can get a set from? Love the look of them.

Says you have to call, but they list them: https://www.socalcustomwheels.com/superturismo-wrc-race-white-red-lettering-4-lug-w-22052.htm

I cannot stand it when Tire rack gets the 'exclusive distributorship' deal for the whole country/all of North America from these manufacturers (like OZed, and the Dunlop Direzza Z3s, etc.), because they are like Sino Mart (Wal Mart), and if a product/model number is not FLYING off of their shelves, they dump it yesterday.

I too would like to know where I can get these, I would like to replace one of mine that I curbed.

Looks like the link above no longer has them. I'll probably end up ordering from international seller.

Would you know IF OZed offers these (OR their Leggenda) in our fitment in a 16x7 size, even if exclusive to Europe??

Take a look here, it's a UK site that offers them.

^^^Sadly, not ONE call I have tried has EVER gone through to that company when I was trying to get some 16x7 Speedline Corse 2120s (Turinis) from them, so I gave up and ordered some Dekagrams instead.

(And YES, I WAS calling before 5:00PM THEIR time!)

Well, that's not good to hear, considering I placed an order for one wheel.

Online, or did you somehow get through to them on the phone?

I placed an order online, but have been in communication with them since via emails and the wheel has been shipped already.

Your last post made it seem like I was dealing with a sketchy company.

It would be great if we had choices for where to source some parts. But, very often the parts would not have been available at all if it weren't for companies like Tire rack who are able to buy the required quantities of parts and also have the marketing reach to move them. I have ordered parts from the U.K. and Italy in the recent past. I much prefer paying a slight premium for the item through a U.S. distributor than all the crap involved in an overseas transaction.

I was NOT trying to imply that they were shady, or sketchy AT ALL, just that they would either not ever pick up their phones, or that for some reason (maybe MY phone company's fault??) the calls would/could never go through.

That being said, I DID email them multiple times, and never got an answer from them concerning the Speedline Turini, so maybe Speedline being that impossible to deal with, they just did not want to even attempt to sell me those wheels sent to this side of the pond?

I would agree, but sometimes the (usually VERY limited in number, so NO competition) U.S. designated distributors overly SEVERELY, ridiculously gouge the U.S. customers on price, WELL ABOVE and beyond the import duties involved, shipping, and even the monetized bother/effort of getting the products here.

NO REASON for a Speedline Turini to cost about a $155.00 USD converted equivalent in England, and up to $400.00 a wheel here!!

Oh, they gouge the shit out of it at every touch point! Plus customs duties and VAT and handling fees. I can't recall who bought Speedline( in the late 90's, I think), might be Ronal because their customer service sucked at similar proportions. My impression was that both of them were more geared towards large scale contract orders, like an automotive industry would require from a supplier.
To give you an idea of how uncommunicative Ronal is, they are quite explicit about not sharing the color formulation of their wheel paints, like the one on our Fiesta.
I am trying to find out if Minilite wheel Ltd is releasing or can produce a 16X7 or 16X8 wheel for my Lotus 7 replica. They claim to have that size done as of 2012, but I cannot find a reference number or application chart. I am holding out hope for that and maybe a easier procurement and shipping process thanks to Brexit!

Revolutions would be another strong, (albeit heavier than most on here could accept) decently styled wheel for us, but I have not even looked into whether or not they would do a drilling/offset for our application or not.

I had multiple sets for my A2 GTI 16V, and was very satisfied with them.

Ken Block also had them make him up some Group A, OZed 'disc style'/replica wheels for his doomed Escort Cossie which he campaigned briefly in the ARA series.
