Default Wheel Drama - OZ Racing- TechArt

I guess it was just a matter of time or chance. I know a few rennlisters (one or two others) have similar wheels and maybe one rennlister has the ability to repair these wheels? I am looking for options and/or opinions. Any help is appreciated.

That looks very repairable.

We've had a lot of rain down here in NE Florida. I was coming home from the airport the other night and ran smack in the middle of one covered with water.

As for the repairs, I'm told they don't make these wheels anymore. Assuming it's a standard size is it fairly easy to source and replace?

they may still have parts even if they no longer make them. You'd have to check.
I don't know these wheels. If OZ made them for TechArt, OZ might have parts... ? I am only guesing but maybe the centers aren't available but the outers may be the same as other wheels OZ makes.

If not, then I'd find a good wheel shop and have them look at it in person.
Good luck!

I think the original name of those wheels by OZ were Mito, I think. You can try calling them and asking if they any spare parts from that previous model.

Guys, thanks for the responses. I believe these wheels are the Championship Formula wheels not sure how/if they differ from the Mito. Someone (Champion Motorsports) referred me to Wheels America out of Miami? Also, thanks for the lister reference!

Since I'm not familiar with that wheel, can you tell me is it multi-piece (2 or 3)? If so, contact me, I might be able to help you out with getting it repaired.

Hey Andy,

No direct knowledge but I believe they are 3 piece.
