Okay, I found a nice set of OZ O.Z. Superleggera Wheels and want your thoughts/input on style and if the package is a good deal.

They came off a co-workers car and fit the Speed 3 just perfectly.

215/55R17 size with Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50's on them. Tread is plenty good 70% plus.

Cost $600.

Is this a good deal? What are your thoughts the wheels in general too?

17s might look a tad small on the MS3, but they are a high quality lightweight wheel that looks nice, and it would be a good deal if you are able to use the snow tires
 
WOW.....so it sounds like the wheels alone are a good deal. I know he paid about $1,400 plus for the set a few years ago.

I'm very, very likely going to pick them up tomorrow. Just need to look them over good and make the deal. Kinda makes me wish they were 18's so I could use them as my summer wheels :)
 
You haven't bought these yet? That is a crazy deal...I do have a question though.....who buys OZ's to run snow tires????
 
Not his beetle, but he has one just like it. I grabbed that image off the web since the wheels are exactly the same.

I may just do what you said.....only I'll ride with them as is this year, perhaps two even until the rubber needs replaced, then sell them and get something else if I feel the urge.

I would take them off his hands and sell them to get what size you need. That a pic of his Beetle?
 
My buddy is single and makes great coin. He has four cars too :eek:

I just tt. him and sealed the deal. The tires only have 15,000 miles on them, so for WS50's that's pretty good I think.

No. They are 5X100 with offsets in the 30s IIRC. The picture might be pulled off the web to show you what the wheels look like. Those look like 18s on the VW anyway.
 
I think it's a terrible deal. In fact, I feel offended that he would try to take advantage of you like that. You should give me his phone # and address so I can buy them myself give him a piece of my mind.
