Unhappy

Hi,
can anyone help me here...

November last year, i bought 4 OZ Superturismo wheels for my scooby.

The OZ RACING words on the hub of each wheel is starting to peel.

I spent a lot of money here and did not expect this to happen.

can i get some new words and re-apply them?

can someone give me the importers phone number and I will ask them.

thanks
Ian

Mine started to come off after 2 weeks, if you find out where we can get replacements post it please, i've had no luck, as for the silver centre caps, mine came with gold, but i've seen them with silver and dthink it spoils the wheel.

Skip.

Question

Mine are fine after 6 months and 14000 miles, washing at least once a week.

Are you using brushes to clean wheels? could be the culprit - I use 'wonder wheels' and a soft sponge or cloth.

Oooh I can help here,
I have OZ Super T's purchased in December 99. My OZ Racing Logo has started to come off. I found this the day before I went to the Autosport show so I had a word at the Motorsport wheels stand as they supplied the rims to Ripspeed who sold them to me.

The guy on the MS Wheels stand said that the logo is not a sticker, it is airbrushed on, and should definately not come off, as it is supposed to have some serious laquer over the top.

MS Wheels checked their entire stock of Gold Super T's (at the Leeds office anyway) after I spoke to them and they found that you can rub the logo off with your finger. It is not laquered over.

This is now a warrantly claim for me. They are currently getting all their stock relaquered, and they have agreed to swap my rims for a new set when they have done this. this should be the first week in March.

For others affected, I would suggest going back to your retailer and asking them to persue the problem with their supplier (probably MS Wheels).

Drop me an email if you want contact names and numbers at MS Wheels.

Hope this helps.
Regards
Damion

1) Dont use Wonder Wheels - its too harsh

2) Dont buy cheap crappy rims

3) Dont wash them!

I have OZ Super Ts - Have washed them every week (with wonder wheels) for 6 months - and they are fine (- apart from kerbing one of them ) and they came from direct from Motorsport Wheels, but the Stockport site.

Subie Gal, you're in the states? You have an RS?

You can get OZ wheels from tire rack.

Hmm, are you looking for the normal SuperTs, the non-corsa ones? They definitely carry the white corsa SuperTs, but yeah, they don't seem to carry any others. I'm not sure if I have seen the silver ones in the US, not to mention the gold. Which color are you looking for?
