Valves for OZ wheels.

[catretriever]

I am in the process of getting a set of OZ wheels re-furbed and in doing so have lost the valves for the fronts. The tyre fitters I use don't have the appropriate valves.....so does anyone know where I might source them???

cheers

I got mine from Richbrook along with some TVR lockable dust caps. The metal needs to be the same otherise they react - unless this is bullcrap, but the guy from Richbrook was very helpful.

Thanks FFG,

was it just their standard bolt in valve that you got?

Be very interested in seeing the results of the wheels and picking your brains ......

was admiring FlipFlops on Sunday ....... more info required

Mine, all though in reasonable nick could do with a spruce up....... a Winter job me thinks as the Griff is on a one minute stand by for hooning around in these summer months

If I recall Hoover you're only up the road from me so I'll be happy to show you the results once it's all done. I can't wait to get it sorted as I currently have estorils on the front and Oz's on the rear....oh the shame

I've got to say tho' that these OZ wheels are real growers...I think I prefer them to the Estorils tbh.

I think so. You can fit the washer on the rears but not the fronts as the curve is right next to the valve. I've had no problems with leaks. The fitters who put the Toyos on fitted them and I was only concerned they didn't damage the rim when they put the tyre on.

I wonder if their flush fitting valves would be a better option?

[FlipFlopGriff]

They are defo the pro valve ones. Can't recall but I couldn't have the flush fit ones for some reason. Speak to Richbrook.
