Thumbs up New oz wheel!

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.

We are pleased to announce that the New OZ Forumla HLT has now been released and is available online.

This new wheel is in the same family as the OZ Ultraleggera HLT and Alleggerita HLT and provides a unique look with its simulated Center Lock appearance.

Like the Ultraleggera HLT and Alleggerita HLT it is made in Italy with OZ’s HLT (high light technology) processes. Because the wheel is flow-formed it will be available in a wide range of sizes and fitments.

This wheel will primarily be featured as it is shown online today with the center lock look cover plate covering the lugs. HOWEVER THE WHEEL WILL COME WITH TWO CAPS IN THE BOX – THE CENTER LOCK COVER PLATE AND ALSO A NORMAL CENTER CAP THAT WILL LEAVE THE LUGS EXPOSED.

Initial fitments:

17X7.5 5-114 ET45

18X8 5-114 ET45
