I know they are like Hen's teeth, but does anybody know of any where were I might get hold of an Oz 8 Spoke alloy for my S2.

There are a number of problems with S3 wheels;
1. The spare is a space saver therefore you cant swop damaged wheel with spare.
2.TVR didnt stock many.
3. The S seems to have lasted well ie not many written off and broken up.
4.Non original wheels often devalue the car.
5.Wheels are rare expect to pay £80 - £250

Keiran,

I know this is an old posting, but I thought I'd point this out to you just in case you never got round to sorting anything and are still interested...

Here's an add for 15" cross spoke alloys which I guess may or may not be the S3 O.Z.'s.

Worth a shot anyway.

the other route is a set of Chim alloys maybe?

how badly damaged is the alloy some companys can repair alloys even when they are cracked may be worth looking in theyellow pages and getting them to take a look

Sorry,

I should have let you know the outcome weeks ago,

I got the wheel repaired and all four refurbed / diamond polished for a cost of £235 about four weeks ago.

BTW a search through the yellow pages was no good, I had to search the online version, and found only one company in the North West which could actually repair rather than just polish, the name escapes me ATM but I could soon dig it out if anyone needs it.
