Question Help req to ID some wheels..

Hi all, complete newbie to the forum and my very 1st post..

Needing some help Identifying some wheels I've bought, I dont think the seller knows what they really are, he reckons they are O.Z. Ruotes which I cant find any info on the net about, I think they look more like the O.Z. racing magnesium motorsport wheels often used by the 'Works' teams in the past? They are obviously powdercoated now and so they look a bit different..





I haven't recieved them yet but thought I'd post a pic up to see if anyone knows for sure what they are..


Cheers.

They have a flatter dish than the TH's but then the OZ racing magnesiums look to have thicker 'spokes' round the outer rim.. that could just be down to the smaller wheel size on these examples tho?

ie,





If they are magnesiums... is there much of a weight saving?

Thumbs up

Thanks bud... that pic pretty much confirms it, I prefer white but I think I'll just leave them black for now, will suit my car a lot more than white will.

Cheers guys.
