Default OZ's for escort cosworth

Who has bought OZ superleggera's for their Escort Cosworth.

I can't find any in the size I want.

8Jx17 ET 15 or ET20. (or even 9Jx17).

Anyone know a lighter wheel than the Superleggera?

OZ now do a Ultra Leggera which is supposed to be lighter and stronger but if my memory serves me correct OZ never did ET's to suit the Esc Cos and everyone uses spaces to get the desired ET15-20

Looks like your memory is correct

But as far as I know you dont get the Ultraleggera in any decent sizes in 4x108

Thanks for advice.

Current wheels are,
Compomotive MO's 8J x 17 ET15.
Already using longer studs from Burton Power and 16mm spacers all round.

The car is fairly wide but does not hit the arches, I've fitted wider fiberglass wings.

I need 4 more wheels for dry weather and want to save weight.

Has anyone called the OZ competition dept in Italy?

What was the result?

I've not spoken to the OZ competition dept but a motorsport company did on my behalf as I was interested in some 18" OZ 'monte' mag wheels and they where about £600 each minium order 40
