Are the OZs 2 or 3 piece

[paulg390]

I have 390SE with the OZ split rims which I fancy gettng refurbed before the summer to try to stop the temptation of buying a Griff.. but keep getting asked tricky questions like

1) Are they 2 or 3 piece ?
2) Are there nuts at the back of the multi-bolts or don't they protrude to the rear ?
Can anyone save me the trouble of taking wheel and tyre off to find out..

Also whats a reasonable price for 4 - I dont need them to be concourse, just a bit less scabby than at present.

Any help gratefully received..
Thanks
Paul

2 piece

Nuts attach to the protruding bolt

It isn't going to be cheap!

Ive has two sets of OZ's refurbed and they wernt cheap. The second place (Pristine alloys Wheels in Milton Keynes) did a much better job than the first for not much more money. If you want to know who did them first time around PM me and I'll let you know.

No, they don't have the tools to remove the bolts. They're fairly local to me. Whereabouts are you? If you only want a rim polish rather than a total stripdown, I can reccommend someone. Had a couple of sets done a few months back - c. £25-£30 per wheel.

Thanks 7,

"if you only want a rim polish"... oooerrrr missus !! My Mum always told me to avoid such things at all costs, but in fact thats exactly what I want and £30 sounds a bargain... can you give me their details please
I'm at M25/M1 junction but happy to travel for that price...
Cheers !

I went to a local polisher in bracknell and got each weel rim polished for £20, did not need to strip them down, just used masking tape on the the painted surface and a bit of carpet covering the bolts taped to the edge and they came up superb.
Still looking good after nearly 8 months too

Getting better and better, Bracknell isn't too far from me... can you remember the name or number ?

Paul - the guy I used is GS Polishing, at Hoo nr. Rochester. 01634 251747. He was recommended by Lepsons, as they couldn't do my wheels. I didn't need to mask anything, just remove the tyres and valves.

I'll try and find out for you, obviously you will need to remove the tyres. He's not the quickest person either So you would need some spares on yours. I have a spare spacesaver if you want to borrow whilst they get done (in Reading)
