Help!!!! I'm a numpty
« on: 14 April 2009, 12:26 »
I managed to loose a centre cap off my alloy.  :cry:
Problem is I have never seen these wheels anywhere before, they have OZ racing centre caps, but am not sure if they definitely are! (the bit that says OZ racing is stuck to the metal bolt bit, I suppose its possible someone at some point could have changed it?) And yes I have managed to loose the whole thing!

Anyone seen these before?



Any ideas where to look for a centre cap? I have tried ebay - no luck  :sad:

I have done that, its the only contact on the OZ site, hopefully they will know!

Has anyone come across a set like these before? I know they are pretty old though?

OK, just got a reply from the performance alloys people, they just said it is over 15 years old and no parts available.

So I guess from that reply it is an OZ alloy.

Anyone got any other ideas for replacing my centre cap??? :cry: :cry:

Is it just a push on or a screw type?

Tis a screw on type, and the screw bit on the wheel sticks out so cant make flush caps for it  :sad:

Do you have any idea when it came off? I don't mean the exact place obviously, but say it happened on the way to tesco or similar you could see if it's by the side of the road :undecided:
