Hi I'm in desperate need of a new alloy wheel as a pothole/subsiding road has eaten mine.
It's an oz supertirismo but it's the older smooth design, the ones they sell now are more modern looking and have thinner spokes near the Rim and a lip around the Rim aswell.
I've seen plenty of the new ones for sale and even older ones in the wrong fitment.
But I havnt a clue where I can find one, I don't really want to buy a new set seen as I've just spent a fortune getting mine refurbed with new goodyears 4 weeks ago and I really like them.
I wOuld even buy a full set of second hand ones just to get one refurbed to match mine.
Does anybody have one laying about or know where I can get one from?
Thanks Andy

How bad is bad? There are a few companies out there who can do a good repair job. I had one cracked and flat and a local welding outfit sorted it right out, was the straightest wheel on the car afterwards!

Nice. Could be worth contacting a few repairers and sending them that picture? You could be waiting for ever for the right set to come up otherwise.

tbh its not that bad where i ran over, if you did it with standard wheels and tyres you wouldnt even think about checking for damage but as it is it went with a massive bang.
its partly driver error, the hole is at the side of the road, the white line and 4 inch of road have subsisded away, and it was dark and i was following the white line, the road should not be like that but its partly my fault, it was dark and id just got up, but as a car was coming other way i took the inner line, i should of stayed out a bit.
ill post some pics and see what folks oppinions are on wetehr to claim or not, the road was resurfaced a year or so ago but not very good.

I sure did, it came back perfect, didn't last long tho until a hairline crack appeared and it started losing air!
I did manage to buy another 7 of the same wheels tho, just need them painting to match mine. Its a Shame 4 out of those 7 spares have the slightest flat spot on the inner rim
