Oz split rims

[glena]

Can anyone recommend a reliable company to refurb an original set Oz split rims? and a rough idea of the cost? Spit n Polish in Kent won't touch them.

I had mine done by Mr Unique (A10) - cost.. a lot.

Do a search... I KNOW someone posted they'd had theirs done... probably in the last 6 months or so at a guess...

We use spir and polish in Tonbrige Wells

You could try :

or try it manually - I saw good results from a guy
who has a 390se.. he used a CETEM polishing kit that
cost £35 - adverts in the back of motor bike mags.

The Wheel Hospital in Rochford Essex did a lovely job of the OZs on my old 400SE...



I got replacement OZ Racing stickers made up by a local graphics firm for a few quid.

I have just been quoted £80[ish] plus PP for each rim.
Included are all new bolts, seals and any finish you would like. They will even refit the tyres!
I'll mail you all the details later when I'm home.

Have you got the contact details re the graphics firm? I need 4 and they may still have the template.

Glen,

Sorry, I had them done about 5 years ago, and I can't remember the name of the firm. They were based at the Rayleigh Weir roundabout (next door to Halfords), but I think that they moved or closed down.

One little tip when you do find someone to make them up....the original 'OZ Racing' decals on the wheels are slightly curved because they sit on the outer rim of the wheel. The ones I had made up were 'straight', but they were like the decals you get in Airfix kits, where you put them in water to remove it from the backing paper. This enabled me to cut up the decals, and apply the letters individually to match the curve of the wheel. The result was very tidy.

Cheers,

Neil
