OZ Racing introduces the latest entry in the 'Leggera' family

Italian wheel manufacturer, OZ Racing, continues its research efforts to combine the properties of light weight with strength. And the firm has delivered with the new, TUV certified, OZ Leggera (Italian speak for light) HLT. These light, high-performance wheels have an optimised weight to structural strength ratio and succeed in enhancing a car's performance and handling.

The distinctive feature of the one-piece, five-double spoke design of Leggera HLT makes it the finest product for either a day at the track, on sports cars and premium sedans.

Leggera HLT is a combination of innovative details that were previously used solely on limited edition products, now made possible thanks to technology transfer from the racing sector to mass production.

The styling and technical solutions, which were obtained using sophisticated dynamic simulation programs, have led to the design of particularly open spokes that can easily dissipate the heat from the brakes, significantly lowering the system's fatigue level.

The Leggera HLT benefits from the technical knowledge which was acquired after working with F1 teams such as Infiniti Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Ferrari. The engineers at OZ Tech Lab, the same brains behind the design of F1 wheels, transferred these competencies by working together on the design and manufacturing processes in order to obtain the best ratio of lightness and structural strength, performance and styling and, last but not least, the highest level of manoeuvrability for enhanced driving comfort.

Side cut and under cut are the special technologies that are used for the Leggera HLT, allowing for a reduction in weight by removing material where unnecessary while retaining technical performance.
