OZ wheels - TVR Centres
Discussion
Well I've lost one and the car looks awful with just one small badge missing.
Have emailed Peninsula as I found an old thread that suggested they might have some.
Failing that any other ideas? Someone also mentionned the factory might still have some, but can't find how to get in touch with them, any email addresses or phone no's anyone?
Finally has anyone had some made up, are they as good as the originals??
DP - think you had this problem last year?
Cheers
Steve

Cheers Streaky,
yep I did find this thread on a search and but it didn't answer all the questions. Hard to please me! Searches failed to show me how to contact the factory
Interested to note that Jason's photos show his discs held in place without the (rusty) screw that mine has? How should they be secured?

Thanks Martin, might come back to you for the number of the Van shop if I can't source any (rather than re-inventing the wheel - pun intended)
Have you got them yet and are you as pleased with the results? I would guess at that price there would be quite a few other Wedge owners who would like a few spares??
Regards

Thanks Martin.
S'funny I spoke with Jason at Peninsula yesterday as he hadn't responded to my email and he thought they were no longer available from the factory! Put him straight of course with your experience and I am waiting for him to come back to me.
Sticky sounds good (no ugly screw heads) but does this mean discarding them each time you need to take the wheel off? (hence the spares??) Might they start to peel off given the crud that the wheel picks up?
Just thinking aloud, wonder what the other boys have done, can't believe we're the only one's facing this issue. Where's DP400SE, he had this problem last year. Come on Dave, whaddya do??

Just been to have a look. For some reason I had it in mind that the disc covered the locknut!
Getting the coat now.
Hi DP - please let us know how you get on with your wheels (including the disks) Interested cos Peninsula told me on the phone they couldn't get the black discs and I've still not heard from them.
Dunno what to do now?? Sleep on it I reckon!

Update: Been to Henley H this afternoon, nice people, loads of wheel centres but not Oz sized for wedges. Wasn't a wasted journey though coz it's a great drive to Henley (even in the drizzle)
Parked between two Tuscans
, and I thought the wedge looked bloody fantastic even in that company.
Plan B??? Martin (Redcar) got a phone number of the van man??

Hi DP fingers crossed for the delivery of yours and Sean's car, can't wait to see them.
Wheel centres- now I'm confused because Peninsula emailed me back last week to say they couldn't get any!! HH are trying to contact the factory too, wonder if they'll come back with a f=different story?
WTF's going on??

Steve.
Made a complete F.U, gave out the TVR part number for centres and forgot to order mine& guess what, none left and TVR not making any more, Im up the creek without a paddle or any centres.
Anybody got any idea's as I've got four lovely refurbed wheels without any centre labels.

Martin you plonker! What happened to those being made by your local signwriting man, were they no good?
I've kept my old ones for spares and if you're stuck you'd be welcome to but a) there's only three of them an b) they're a little tatty with a hole in the centre as they were held in place with a screw.
Second suggestion, try another dealer, Peninsula told me they were not available yet Henley Heritage got hold of them a few days later without any bother!!
Good luck!

Don't worry - I am gonna make 'em!.
I need somebody to send me one wheel centre plate with a badge on and i will get some made (the centre stickers) and then put them on the site for other owners.
Anybody wanna send me in a wheel cover so I can get started??.

Mike, I have a spare I can send you, mail me with your address where you'd like it sent, I can post it tomorrow if you need it now!

Posted yesterday first class, hope it arrives OK, I kinda wrapped it in a piece of note paper to protect the edges and hope that some toerag doesn't mistake it for a ......er.....wedge (i.e.bundle of tenners)
Look forward to the window stickers, what do they say
"Yeah, I know it sounds bloody fantastic" or
"
Comes as standard" or even
"They all do this Sir"
"Turn ya music down, ya spoiling my noise"
