I know they are like Hen's teeth, but does anybody know of any where were I might get hold of an Oz 8 Spoke alloy for my S2.

There are a number of problems with S3 wheels;
1. The spare is a space saver therefore you cant swop damaged wheel with spare.
2.TVR didnt stock many.
3. The S seems to have lasted well ie not many written off and broken up.
4.Non original wheels often devalue the car.
5.Wheels are rare expect to pay £80 - £250

Keiran,

I know this is an old posting, but I thought I'd point this out to you just in case you never got round to sorting anything and are still interested...

Here's an add for 15" cross spoke alloys which I guess may or may not be the S3 O.Z.'s.

Worth a shot anyway.

how badly damaged is the alloy some companys can repair alloys even when they are cracked may be worth looking in theyellow pages and getting them to take a look

Sorry,

I should have let you know the outcome weeks ago,

I got the wheel repaired and all four refurbed / diamond polished for a cost of £235 about four weeks ago.

BTW a search through the yellow pages was no good, I had to search the online version, and found only one company in the North West which could actually repair rather than just polish, the name escapes me ATM but I could soon dig it out if anyone needs it.
