OZ 5-Spoke wheel centre
Discussion
Oh dear Clive, these are very hard to find in fact you may want to consider buying a new set of wheels as you may never find another, I have seen a few home made ones which look ok but you would need to make a set to match. You could ring around all the TVR dealers and give em a good laugh, ring OZ direct so they can make you feel stupid (as they did with me)or send me your details and I will post you one down I have 3 spares in the workshop, they are not perfect and you may need a new sticker for the middle (ebay) I do not have the bolts so you would have to sort something, but they are better than showing your nuts off 
If anyone finds a source for these please let me know as im after a set of four as well. I spoke to Niel at TVRcar parts about them a year or so ago and he was looking into getting some made. Three months later he hadnt got anywhere with it and to be honest i gave up! has anyone else spoken to him about them recently. If so did he say anything about getting some made?
Be very useful if TVRcarparts could do something like this..it's so frustrating trying to locate simple bits like this. I have found some Oz rims for my 400, but none have center plates!
I don't want to spend a huge 'Wedge' on wheels if obtaining the wheel centres proves impossible.
Can anyone help?

I have a friendly machine shop near to who do a fair amount of work for us. I will take him one and see if he could machine some out of... something. The originals are plastic but I am sure a nice polished alloy one would look just as good. Stickers are not a problem, plenty on fleabay. I will post here if I manage to get anywhere.

it is easier to get the wheels than the centre caps .hahahahahahaha
I wouldn't say getting hold of the wheels is any easier Wim..that's for sure!
Good idea about getting some made up out of alloy, can't be that difficult. Think i'll call TVR carparts, if enough interest is generated they may be prepared to make some.
If anyone can get some made, I'll be up for buying a set. I would have thought a plastics company would be the best bet, then get them chromed. I would be happy to pay in advance if we could organise getting a batch made. Once they have made a mould, presumably the cost would be minimal to actually produce them. Does anyone know any plastics companies that might be interested ???
The problem as I understand is that there are not enough that can be sold against the machining costs, hence why TVRCarparts and the like have not bothered despite attempts to locate a company to supply.. hopefully someone will consider running some up for the wedge charity, otherwise I suggest some papier mache and some chrome effect paint from halfrauds..

Why don't we see how many on PH might want some, to see if we can generate enough interest (or would the order need to be 000s?). On the basis of this thread alone there looks to be demand for 20-25.
