Wheel info

Hi guys,
I have a TVR 450 SEAC fitted with rare 16" OZ racing wheels, i think some Aston's used this wheel.
I am after a wheel centre, you can see it clearly in the back ground in the pic below.
Can someone tell me if it's the same type centre, and if it is anybody know where i could buy one.

Wasn't this the "Ronal" wheel, as used on some V8 Vantages?

Dunno if that helps, but a web search might yield something.

They certainly look like Ronal wheels from the pic in which case try Julian at Puddleduck, he should be able to help

It says OZ racing on the wheel, some early griffs had a similar wheel but its not the same as mine.

From the picture it is difficult to tell what the wheels are. They do, however, look like the late V8 Vantage Ronal wheels. However, if they say OZ, then I assume that they must be. Aston Martin used OZ wheels on the wide bodied Virage cars, some of which were just cosmetically wide bodied following the style of the higher spec 6.3 liter Virage conversions which were the first Aston cars to sport the OZ wheels.I believe that this special form of the Virage cars was available up to the early/mid 90s only, so finding the bit you need may be a bit tough. Why not call the Aston Martin parts department?. I suspect that finding a widebody Virage car which someone is breaking might be very hard.

I have just checked my photo files and the wheels in your picture are definitely not the 5 spoke 18 inch OZ wheels used by Aston Martin.
