Angry It just gets worse!!!

started with my exhaust going just before i decide to sell, then i get a flat tyre, which turns into needing a new alloy, now i can't track down a replacement alloy so i might have to buy a whole set of alloys for a car i'm not even keeping!!


does anyone know where i can track down a 17" gold, OZ, 15 spoke alloy???

i think its a prodrive, but dont know for sure, i've tried loads of dealers that say its probaly a prodrive and OZ only supply them direct to subaru, tried subaru and they say they dont have a 15 spoke on the books... HELP!!!!!


I'm really desperate people, selling the car because of financial problems, a new set of alloys is the last thing i need!

Take a photo and put an ad in the wanted section.

There is a Subaru breakers who have been mentioned a few times in recent weeks. I don't recall the name though, sorry. Either have a search on here or i'm sure someone will remember them.

Best of luck

Hi,

definately a 15 spoke, got a pic of it but don't have anyway of posting it, can i e-mail it to someone???

tried the OZ distibutor, they sent me straight to subaru, will try them again though. will also try the breakers, though bit of a long shot, it seems these wheels are rather rare, just my luck!

cheers guys

sent you the e-mail mate, fingers crossed!

spoke to motorsport wheels and they dont recognise the product code off the back of the wheel, which prob means its a jap only wheel or something...

It may be cheaper to look out for a complete set of s/h wheels. The ones I took off my MY00 were immaculate and went for just £150 - and you might be able to make something back by selling your remaining 3 wheels to people in a similar position to yourself. Obviously that might take time, but there's always ebay.

Question More and more confused!

The mystery deepens, found these on e-bay which are EXACTLY the same as my OZ ones, apart for the OZ detailing.


mine arent these with an OZ sticker on though as OZ is actually on my wheels in metal...


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...937227037&rd=1

should have a pic of mine up soon to compare.


rung rochford tyres and they dont do OZ... wierd!
