Only 67 for an OZ Racing R32 alloy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-VW-R32-Go...1QQcmdZViewItem Weren't OZ the original makers, then it moved off to someone else?

s4dreamer Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 IIRC, European R32's were shipped with both Ronal and OZ wheels. Not a bad price, and I could do with a couple of these myself, but don't have the spare cash at the mo. Besides, Mauvey will up the price to beat me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Its cheap because its been refurbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 OZ are the only OEM R32 wheels you can source now. Trevor, I'm bidding on it as a spare wheel for track days, so I'm not bothered about it being refurb'd - unfortunately fleabay don't allow you to change your user name (unlike TsN!), so I'm stuck with it Had to change my TsN name to Mook because one of my customers found posts from me on a TsN thread when they were looking for my company via Google...

Hugh Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I thought VW moved to Ronal as the supplier, with only the first few batches of MKIV R32s having OZ? Makes snese if it's a referb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 If you source a new wheel from your VW dealer today, you'll get the OZ wheel. But at £320 each, you'd be better off going to www.rochfordtyres.co.uk and getting one for £151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oatz Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have also heard there were about 3 different shades of paint used...how can you tell which make and shade you have ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleywater Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Seem to remeber the Ronal has like Ronal stamped on it somewhere on the inside face........ Will have a look when I get home from work............ Will have to look at that empty space where the MK4 once was................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy32 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I recently bought a new wheel and it was an OZ, I have Ronals on the car and the colour match is perfect. Ronal is stamped in exactly the same place as OZ which is in between the bolt holes inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy32 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 There is no difference that I can tell only the name stamp, everything else on the wheels is identical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Thee were 3 types of Aristo, 1 x Ronal and 2 x OZ. Don't know which was which or what, but 2 were Bright Silver and 1 was chroemd look sliver. All have the same aptr number, even tho VW told me otherwise. Later modle R32s were fitted with the chromed look wheel, Its hard to spot the difference, but I know as I had one of the chromed look alloys and only when clean could you see the difference.
