What is the difference between the originals?

The original OZ items are made from aluminium not plastic.

Plastic versions are known to melt with heavy track use, this is why I'm avoiding them.

Yes planned to use those as my last resort if I can't get any. The originals also seem to have a loose fitment ring around the spigot though, seems specific to OZ wheels.

Are you doing endurance racing?!

I have plastics on my track car and despite getting some very impressive temps in to the brakes, the spigots are in same condition to this day.
And they were £4 (for 4) ebay jobs.

Just curious

The dimensions you give sound like trying to fit Peugeot fitment wheels to Ford hubs?

Good point, IIRC alot of aftermarket rims come with ~73mm centrebore. Your rims dont have spiggots already that have 'merged' in to the wheels so not obvious? ( might make it easier to find what your after if that is the case.)

I have the very same wheels. I'm sure you have noticed as I have that the wheel hub wall around the spigot area unlike most wheels is rather thin due to weight saving. This area normally acting as a heat sink and keeping temps away from the spigot.

Loggyboy I generally use plastic spigots with other wheels but after reading of others experiences I'm sticking with what they originally came with.

Sprint's, but long periods during trackdays are the concern.

Peugeot are 65,1 mm

OZ use both 68 and 75 center bores on their wheels

OK - I'll keep out of this one then!

Why can you not get them from OZ?





Never under estimate the ingenuity of an idiot!
