help with OZ wheels

**mwbunns4** · 07-29-2008 09:55 AM

i am looking at purchasing a set of 18x8 OZ Chronos with ET35. Has anyone had experience with these wheels? the seller claims they weigh 18 lbs. the tires are kumho MX almost brand new. im discussing the sell with him right now i just wanna be sure these are good wheels. any input would be great. thanks a lot.

The Chronos are strong, light wheels. They will clear the stock calipers, but bbk clearance may be an issue. Also, they are discontinued, so be mindful of that when negotiating your price. That said, they also fit dual bolt patterns (5x100 and 5x112), which means if you want to resell them at a later time your sea of buyers should be a bit bigger.

^^^^ The wheels are drilled in a way to accomodate both bolt patterns. Here's a link to a pic that shows how the wheel is drilled around:

it has 10 bolts in the middle of the wheel and one set is one pattern and the other is the other pattern. kinda looks goofy though.

I've got the Chono Evolutions on my car right now. BBK clearance is phenomenal as they make it over my 355s with some room to spare. They are stupid light, and so far so good on the strength.

The dual bolt pattern is kind of a turn off in my opinion, as I don't like the look, but they're nice track wheels, and the Ecsta MX is a great tire.

If you don't mind, what are you looking at price wise?

around 1000-1100 shipped.

What's the offset on your OZ's? I did a test fit on my Brembo 355 kit/6pot kit and it was not even close to fitting. I'm assuming you're still running a Brembo kit (based on your fs post).

Also, how much room to spare? I've always liked these wheels and if the opportunity arises again I may pick up a set as they are lighter than my CHs.
