Anybody have experience with O.Z. Superlaggeras?

Are they a reliable option for a 530whp 6MT M3?

I do, I had them on my Golf R. I don't know if I had a bad batch but I found them very brittle, the outside front lip cracked on 3 of them. Amazingly they held air but they were scrap after that.

Concern I had with them is how well theyd put down north of 700 torque, from reading online it seems theyll crack quick, and the 4 or 500 bucks you save buying them is gone replacing them

I would trust them, OZ is old school when it comes to building wheels, building for OEM and aftermarket suppliers including AMG / Hartge / Hamann / Audi DTM race teams as well as Aprilla motorcycles. I would trust them, they've been in business since the 70s and had factories in Italy / Japan.. you're fine

Personally I'd take OZ wheels before a lot of the boutique wheel companies, YMMV.. If you're worried about heritage / racing tried and true setups.. there is always advan / bbs / rays..

Normally I'd agree, that's why I went the OZ route. I've had multiple sets over the years, I just had a very bad experience with this particular wheel / PA roads!

My buddy had them in the past and he was always cracking/bending wheels. Don't think i would ever buy them.

I put BBS, Rays, OZ, Work and Forgeline in the top tier category. Everything else I don't even bother.

It's just too bad OZ's commitment to making wheel fitments for BMW M cars is lacking. I think their distribution deal with TireRack ended up being a hot mess.
