They are made by OZ. On the inside of the DTM rim it says OZ. They make a lot of wheels for factory performance cars, like BBS. My Porsche 3.6 Turbo also had OZ 's from the factory one of the nicest wheels I have ever seen, but brutally expensive. Here's a pic:

Hmm.
So forged wheels sold by AMG Manufaktur (see the current post) list for about 50% more than what Tirerack gets for the very same wheels -- dressed up as OZ SLs.
That's a pretty brutal mark-up for the little DTM hubcap.
Then there's the German VAT tax, MB's restriction against selling outside of AMG's own shop, etc.
I'm starting to like the land of OZ.

I wonder if OZ could sell us that nifty DTM 3 pointed star hubcap with the SL wheel?
Compared to the same size stock AMG LP cast alloy wheels, the OZ SLs are slightly to siginificatly lighter, depending on the particular style.
