HEY hey , no more copy cats of my car...!
LOL
Actually i ended up buying another set of opera's so now i have 2 sets so i can use one for spare barrels.

 

Beautiful car! Can you recommend a shop in the GTA where you get your maintenance or repairs done? Thanks.

 

Very tastefully modded car, looks smooth and ballin!

 

vfr , all depends on what you need done , and where you are located.
let me know.
Or post a thread in the Canadian section but their are a few there also.

vietunit , thanks .
Car hasn't changed tons but looks very different with air now.
This is the latest pic but shows nothing.

 

love operas. can't tell from the pics but are yours stepped or reverse lip?

 

It is a version of a stepped lip.
They never made reverse in Opera's .
I would love operas too if they made them with today's technology but they are 90's wheels with no rolled edges and other supports so they bend crack and have been at the shop for 4 months now to get repaired after welding a whole new inner lip to fix them .

 

stepped lip operas are the much rarer of the 2. only available in 20" afaik.

 

Operas are beautiful indeed. After you had them machine finished, they looked even 10x better. Car looks great.

 

Thanks again.
The pic you have is the version 2's which are from 2003-2006 in 19's which have the normal lip.
I have the earlier ones from 1997-2002 which did come in 20 have a stepped type lip known as patented .
Funny enough the 20's I have use the same face from the 19" wheels .
I need to find a place to make custom barrels for them so i can get rid of the spacers out back with a lower offset of 15 on an 11 inch wide rim . Oh well hopefully I can find somewhere as the barrels are shot on my rears. I do have 2 sets of opera II's . Both 20 , one in black and the other set I had machined and color matched. I agree it is an amazing look as I well am the only one too boot.

 

the "II" in opera II designates the multi-piece construction rather than being a v.2. the oz opera (no II) is a monoblock. "patent lip (PL)" refers to models with a replacable stainless jacket over the lips. all 18s/19s (that i've seen anyway) have a reverse lip, with the 20s being a step lip on a 19" face. the reason i asked in the first place was i thought you had a reverse lip 20", which would have been new to me.

 

You are right on the PL I don't know why I wrote it backwards .
The II designates the 2 piece wheel , but there are 2 versions ,the earlier ones i have and the newer ones like pictured above by you.
They do have the same lip i have in 17 , 18 an 19's as well.

 

i knew about the evos, but not 2 versions of the opera. what are the differences?

 

The 2 versions are the lip and slightly to the face.
The originals had the step lip while the 2nd had the reverse lip like you pictured with so called replaceable lips .

 

100% DOPE -- let me know when you wanna sell that thing!

 

LOL , I don't sell my cars.
