Yeah, Somehow Pushki's post snuck infront of mine as well :? And that picture definitely wasn't there the first time I looked, hence my edit.

We've had something like this once before.

Ok, something's still not right though, as I didn't see the last post from Lemon or Lude-dude before I posted my last post :lol:

Did you click the link to take you to the first unread post? If you did, you likely ended up on page 1 of the thread due to the merge.

Can't recall exactly now. Either clicked page 1 or the thread title as there was only one page listed for it. But then there was also no "someone else has written something before you" message either.

Nevermind though. Tis working now. I just thought it might have been that whole timezone, loop-hole or whatever thing we experienced once before.

Black hole makes a return - just admin messing with cr@p! :lol:

Having owned OZ wheels (you should know this too Nath), you will need some specific spigot rings. They are usually 75mm, but as they say check this out. It's not a common size and the original ones are normally metal inserts. I had to buy a new set (with new nuts) from an OZ dealer years back. But it's finding an OZ dealer nowadays that can get them - they are far and few between because there's not much money in importing alot of the classic Italian wheel manufacturer's stuff.

Very differen wheels though, I've never seen a set.

I'd also measure the Offset, it might just be the picture but they don't seem to sit right??? :?

I'm still confused as to whether these are for a 2nd gen or 4th gen. :?
Text says "gen 2", picture shows 4th gen.

As Nafe said... maybe OP accidentally hit 2 instead of 4.

Okay then! :!:

My 17" Oz wheels needed spigot rings. I was able to get original Oz rings for a few pounds from eBay.

The centre bore for the 4th gen' is Ø64.1mm.
I don't have any vernier calipers, but by measuring with a ruler, the outer diameter of the ring is Ø75.0mm.
