My OZ Rally rims on my Mk3 GTi

[Chapel]

[Chapel]

I neglected to link to these earlier

[brad@fifteen52]

i believe they are center covers for the new formula tr.'s

Yup!

and what will those look like???

[CoolJetta3]

beauty

[sybir]

I need that TR setup and the disc on my STi. Now. Fifteen52 , what's the initial size and offset range going to be on those?

First run will be 16x8, 17x8, 17x9; and then shortly after 18x8.5, 18x9.5 and 18x10.5.

Offset range will be ET0 to ET50.

We're using a flow-form casting technique which will result in an extremely lightweight design

[RS4PD]

Oh how I want these for the RS

And 18x10.5 will be fine and fit over my Alcon's......will offsets be custom or set?

And i'll take them in the color above.

What about the fans?

Value added option, of course

[Chapel]

Value added option, of course

I will buy a car JUST to put these on...

[danny_16v]

Value added option, of course

looking for a clean E36 M3 for promotion ?

[sybir]

I'll buy a set just to add to Chapel's brownie points

18x8.5 with a 40ish offset - if that''ll clear an OEM Brembo, sounds awesome, my tarmac-style STi needs them, bad.
I'll keep an eye on the preorder threads. I was waiting on the wider Tarmacs, but these just bumped them - you guys rock for doing something this cool in non-crazy money and modern sizes and if I can get some crossover going for the Subie market, would be great.

[MarkFrank]

Anyone know anything about OMP making wheels other than the steering variety?

(not my car, but a friend of mine has/had these and I never knew where they came from)





(the owner is/used to be on Vortex, not sure if he can fill in some info)

Bingo , I have those on my GTI ,

1000 Miglia OMP Sports Wheels. 15x6

Turbo Wheels Own You

Yes, yes they do

[I once had a jetta]

Someone mentioned that I should post these in this thread:



and this one for fun - I am going to make a full set of these ones:

[hipster.]

Haha I don't know where you found that picture. But Adam (VegasJetta) and I bought that car many moons ago. The interior was like someone put a grenade in a spool of wires, there was a nest of black widows under the hood, and the paint was some horrendous "Burple" color.

We pulled the wheels off (I think Adam sold them recently) and sold the rest to a buddy that was going to use the shell to build on.

Homage?

or replica?

I've been pushing these wheels with another wheel designer for YEARS... then another company comes in and makes them
MemoryFab, when asked, said that THIS was their 'inspiration'

[mr lee]

my compo th-monos

My dad had those on his Black 85 GTI as well. He said they were a pain in the ass to clean. Not as much as BBS's though.

I don't believe those are turbo wheels though. I could be wrong. Other wise BMW bottlecaps would probably be classified as turbo.

Oh yeah and here are some 3-piece bottlecaps.

Wow nice rims ...can you show the picture/ photo how to make it?
where can i buy this rims?...

[howdyhoayman]

I'm pretty positive that's photoshopped.

[mellbergVWfan]

I'm pretty positive that's photoshopped.

No it's real. But I don't think the lip is actually bolted onto the wheel. I think someone just found one the same size and put it over the front.

My OZ Rally rims on my Mk3 GTi

I found a set of these on craigslist for a decent price. Trying to pick them up if they're a good width and have the proper center bore.

[Aw614]

I really want a set of ronal turbos, damn I remember when Ronal used to advertise them on vortex when I was in HS.

no. there's no venting for those.

[AKADriver]

Those are called "smoothies" or "moon caps"... dry lakes racers invented them for their top speed runs.

They're just flat aluminum wheel covers for steel wheels.
