oz or ssr

Gonna buy new wheels soon and need people that are familiar with the Oz Superleggera and SSR GT1 (17x8), from Tire Rack. Will they be good for everyday use? The roads are'nt that great here and I don't want to make that investment and have them dented or damaged. Thanks everybody.

Funny you mentioned these two wheels. I'm deciding between the two also. I would like the GT1's, but they are more expensive than the Superleggera's. If you have the money, I say go for the GT1's, but maybe get the 18s instead.

Personally I would get the OZs because they are light and durable and really not too expensive. Good luck.

I'm a big fan of the OZ Superleggera. I like SSR GT1s too, but the OZs get my vote.

This is all personal taste here...

Both are good quality weeks... I think the GT1 use SSF technology while the Superleggera use some titanium in the alloy with heat treating and shotpeening... you won't have any problems if you get 17's.

Thanks for the pics,looks great. Did you have your SE lowered? Your Max don't seem to have much of a gap.

Oz is a reputable brand. Personally I'd go SSR, they make strong forged rims

Both great quality wheels I just bought some SSRS they are very light in 18 but the OZ leggeras are just as light and was cheaper as well. It would be a personal choice. I think the GT1's and the leggeras both look very nice.
