New sneak peak OZ for 2013
OZ racing is proud to announce the brand new Formula HLT for 2013. OZ's High Light Technology (HLT) process uses rollers to compress and elongate the material along the barrel of a low-pressure cast aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This process, which is directly derived from O.Z.'s experience in F1, produces wheels that are extremely light and strong. The flow forming process and the HLT technologies combine to create mechanical characteristics similar to those of a forged wheel. This permits a dramatic reduction in wheel weight while enhancing structural rigidity vs. a standard cast wheel.

Exact fitments and pricing is upcoming, but we expect a wide range of 5-bolt sizes and applications similar to the very popular Ultraleggera and Alleggerita.

i'm ok with them building a wheel with a cap to hide the lugs and saying it has the centerlock "look"... but actually writing centerlock on a non centerlock wheel... thats something i expect from some nobrand knock off from china... not from OZ

100% agreed, but you must remember that people with good taste are grossly outnumbered in the real world.

I have OZs on my other car and really like them. They just did not have a wheel I liked for fitment and looks for the Evo platform.

Hopefully, there will be some non-capped wheels. Fake centerlocks arn't doing it for me.

I wonder if HLT or MAT results in a stronger wheel?

Isn't that the truth!

I'm hoping for a more honest optional centercap.
