Thanks guys! I am super stoked on how these OZ's look. I was a tad hesitant on the black but am soo glad I got em. I was surprised at how light they are and the detail is really nice in person. I decided to put 5mm spacers all around. The offsets are 53 front and 40 rear.

I remember you! Glad to see you are over here too! Cheers!

I took it into my shop today (Vision Motorsports in Laguna Hills www.visionmotorsports.com ) for an alignment and this beast was sitting out front..dool. Real GT2 gutted and light as hell. Everytime I go to Vision the guys are super cool and always have some sweet racecars in the shop. One (racecar) I didn't get a picture of was a 4.0L (Gt3 motor) Boxster that was going under the knife for some more mods...sick! If you are ever in the area check them out and ask Dwain to take you through the shop. They do amazing work!

Enjoy!:

Why is everyone running spacers? Does OZ not make exact fitments?

I think a 40 offset for the rear was the most aggressive fitment for the rear..Damon can chime in if I'm wrong.

I dont think they need them at all if you ask me, perfect fit with whatever I was sent by Damon.

Nice setup. Looks real aggressive!

Totally recommend Damond and the Tire Rack (whether it was bought there or not

You've really got me thinking about these wheels... and the price is VERY reasonable compared to brands like HRE. My car came with 20" Maya DLS wheels that must weigh about 50 lbs a piece...before tire! Not really but you know what I mean.
