WANTED: OZ Split rim for 390SE

[foggys916]

Hi all,

First time poster!

Anyhow, I used to post this regularly on the Usenet, but appears that avenue isn’t much point now. So thought I’d try here.

I have an ’88 390SE, which has 350 body styling. I curbed and damaged one of the OZ split rims. Tower View said that it was too badly damaged to repair and when I asked Wedge Automotive I had rather a strange reply, which I won't go into.

So, I’m looking for one 7 x 15. The later 390's, with more production numbers has 7.5 x 15 and the 400 has 8 x 15, so they're no good. I am aware, therefore, that this size is unusual. Apart from those listed above, any ideas?

Steve

Well - if anyone has one they will be on here - you might as well put a wanted ad on pistonheads too !

Ads are free.

Hi foggy,

If it was curbed beyond repair it will still be able to be split - you can hopefully then get a replacement rim from image wheels www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/rim_section.html - sure if you speak with Tony at www.renowheel.co.uk he would do the job for you - that way save on buying a new one (if you found one that is).

Good luck..

Hi all,

Tried Peninsula, but whilst they had 7 x 15's they wouldn't split (they're repairing a 390 so wanted them).

I'm waiting for a reply from Renowheel, so fingers crossed??!!
