Ozzy Tyres Unveils Next-Generation 'Overland Series' Mag Wheels, Setting a New Standard for Aussie 4×4 Adventures
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - In a move poised to redefine off-road travel in Australia, Ozzy Tyres has announced the release of its highly anticipated Overland Series mag wheels. Engineered specifically for the diverse and often punishing conditions of the Australian landscape, these new wheels cater to adventurers who demand uncompromising performance, durability, and eye-catching style. 'We've always known our 4x4 community wants wheels that can handle everything from outback tracks to beach runs,' says Marcus Ford, Head of Product Innovation at Ozzy Tyres. 'The Overland Series is a direct response to that demand. It's about giving drivers the confidence to tackle tough terrain without sacrificing on-road comfort or style.' Built for the Best—and the Worst—of Aussie Roads From bone-dry desert plains to unpredictable coastal weather, Australia is home to some of the harshest driving conditions in the world. The Overland Series wheels use a lightweight alloy construction to reduce strain on a vehicle's suspension while increasing fuel efficiency. According to Ford, they've also been rigorously tested for impact resistance—meaning less worry about cracks or bends when navigating rocky surfaces or corrugated dirt roads. Sleek Designs, Tough DNA Beyond performance, aesthetics play a key role in the Overland Series. Drivers can choose from multiple finish options, such as matte black or brushed metallic, to match the unique personality of their 4x4. 'These wheels aren't just for show,' Ford notes. 'But they certainly know how to make an entrance.' Pushing Industry Boundaries Ozzy Tyres has built a reputation for delivering high-quality products that strike the perfect balance between form and function. With the Overland Series, the company is inviting Australia's off-road enthusiasts to experience a new level of capability—and look good doing it.

The complaint says "the driver pulled out a black style handgun with a magazine and pointed it at (the victim's) stomach demanding (his) phone, coat and shoes.
