A bit of advice for current and future OZ wheel owners.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ozemblem01.jpg"></center><p>If you purchase an OZ wheel that has the metal logo disc as part of the center cap, take it off and reapply using 3M industrial strength double-sided sticky tape.
All four of my logos have fallen off my 17" Sinfonias in the first six months of ownership because OZ uses the cheapest and weakest sticky tape in the world to attach the logos.
I actually lost only one of the logos, and I've had the replacement on order for about 6 weeks with my tire shop but still haven't received it. Save yourself the frustration and correct OZ's oversight before you lose these suckers.
I got so tired of having one wheel without the logo, I finally took them all off until I get the replacement and can reapply them all correctly.
Don't get me wrong, the wheels themselves are great, but it's a little headache like this that will probably convince me to get BBS or Fikse wheels the next time around.<p>- Rog

Hey calm down I got the OZ F1 racings, but they seem to be fine.........
even after my weekly detailings, for the past 5 months. However, mine was with the exposed lugs so they might be attached from the inside, now u r making me to walk down and check!!

My Volcanos have similar centercaps, BUT....
...they are rammed in quite tightly...it's not just a sticker on top of a larger center cap. However, the volcanos have little red OZ racing emblems on the inner edge of the deep dish...they fell off pretty easily (actually lost one). However, the rims don't look bad without them, so I think I'll leave it off. But you're right, the sticky tape sucks ****.
