WTF?! oz rally wheels - Page 2

I'm definately not familiar with AZ...but just start with garages in your area. If they don't do it, they can most likely tell you who can.

Sweet, I'll make some calls this weekend. And when you said they can redrill the bolt patters on the hubs... you are talking about relocating the bolts on the tire/brake hub right? Not touching the wheels at all right?

evofan@scorp's · Feb 18, 2006, 12:33 AM

Right, you don't want to touch the wheels...it would be too hard too fill the holes with aluminum, then you'd have to get them powdercoated/painted.

I agree... well I am going to see what I can do about this tomorrow then... hopefully I can get a decent price... at the price I payed for the wheels/tires I could easily spend another few hundred and not pay any more than I would have for ones that fit, haha...

found a solution at www.chassistech.com

they sell converters, so for just less than $600 (I got the wheels for a super price) I'll have myself four OZ rally wheels w/ tires (and the four converters)!

warning on converters . . i have never heard a good story about those. Ive heard alot of "they broke" or "they messed up my alignment and offset" Read as much as you can before changing anything.

For $600, just get a better set of wheels that fit already. There's some good stuff on ebay.

Thanks for the warning, I'll do some research. If they end up not working out, no big deal I'll sell the ones I have now and just get new ones... no major harm done. And at the very least a lesson learned eh?

hey does anyone know if there are any cars out there that havethe same bolt pattern as the lance oz?

MadPatter · Oct 4, 2009, 01:53 PM

Some of the Nissan 240z have the same bolt patter, 4x114.3.

Chameleonzero · Oct 7, 2009, 08:49 PM

Just remember to be careful and do research before you buy anything. People need money and would try to convince and sell you a civic bumper to fit on your lancer if the could

FiReTRuCKoZ · Oct 21, 2009, 10:03 AM

you should be able to just replace the hubs. which means you will need the WHOLE assembly...meaning the discs/hubs and all. not worth it for a set of stocker wheels imho.

Almost got caught in the same situation. There was a set of OZ wheels close to me for a great price. I have an 02ES and came on here to see that although both were 4 lug....the OZ wheels would not fit.

Needless to say ....I passed on the wheels....
