hey all,

ive been searching round for some new wheels for my ascent and i was just wondering if anyone has bought anything from ozzy tyres...

if you have, are they good? good value?

im looking at getting a set of these:

Ozzy 068 Wheels

I've been quoted $1400 for these and tyres. I'm aware they'll be crap tyres but ill use them till i have enough money to buy some decent ones... what would you recommend for better tyres?

Ozzy tyres here in brisbane are around the corner from me and business doesnt seem to be 'happening' for them as corey mentioned.

They have alot of 'show' cars out on the corner to entise you but then you end up leaving scratching your head with their lack of service and over the top prices.

oh and if you want anything rather than "BLING" ....... go elsewhere

fake or not fake... it shouldn't matter if you're buying them just for the look factor. Besides, if you were after performance enhancing wheels, you'd want to look for something more reputable, hence more reassuring for the money you spend.

Identifying the difference (purely from looking) depends on how enthusiastic you are towards these things. Only a true enthusiasts could and would really see and know the differences.

having said that, his 18" wheels only weigh around 8.5-9.5kg each. So i can only imagine the 17" and 16" are much less than that.

But for the price he sells them, i couldn't complain :D

Of course there are "good" brands out there that cost a lot less. The ones you mentioned aren't the only ones on the market you know :P

Wheels can be expensive, i agree. I like wheels from brands such as Roh, Speedy, G-Max, Advantek, ANZ. Just head into your local tyre/wheel store and grab all those brochures they have lying around :D

I bet you can't tell the difference ... unless you parked next to a car with the real ones~ ;)

I hate ozzy tyres with a passion... They broke my strut top mount. Never paid for it even though they keep telling me they are ordering in the part. They didn't drop my car the height i wanted. They dont' put panels in back properly. I HATE THEM!!! :angry:

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
