I have been on a OZ website (think it was an american website though) and emailed them with all the details off the alloy. Im not holding out much hope though.

i need to replace one of my alloys as it is ever so slightly buckled.. feels a bit like the balencing is out whilst driving it, it is rather annoying!

anyway, if anyone has any info on finding a spare all the details i can find on the alloy are as follows =

ET31
6 1/2 JX15 H2
01327230

hopefully i can get a replacement as i dont want to have to buy a new set of wheels

cheers.

ahh well, either way, if its streight im happy.
bit annoying the lad who sold me the car told me they just need balencing.
ohh and took the engine managment bulb out so it wouldnt light up.
good job i checked as i was gonna have to take it to garage to get it plugged in... i just thought ill check see if hes taken the bulb out and surprise surprise, it was gone, so i replaced it, did the paperclip test... replaced the TPS and its fine now.
just need to get the wheel streight and it will be spot on

If you're into hiding a problem rather than solving it, this is what you do.

werr i paid £575 for it and ive spent a fair bit on it already sorting out the faults. i love it so it would have to be a good offer for me to sel it.
T&T runs out end of the month but i would never sell a car with no test, too much of an excuse for people to offer silly prices>
its got 138k on it, thats why i plan to drop something else in it, either another c14se or a Z20LET so as i say it would have to be an offer worth my wile to actually sell it
