I have a valve stem issue with one of my wheels. It is a carlsson 2/6 wheel and it is made by OZ. I called the carlsson people in florida and they told me to contact OZ wheels for spare parts to the rims.

I can't find a number or a way to contact them.

Anyone out there able to help me?

Since creating its first wheels in 1971, O.Z. Racing has established itself as a leader in the world's light alloy wheel industry.

O.Z. Racing produces standard equipment wheels for some of the most exclusive automobiles in the world including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin and Lotus.

O.Z. Racing also fills the needs of prestigious automotive equipment and body work companies like Bertone, Pininfarina, AMG, Hartge, Callaway, Schnitzer, Cizeta and Strosek.

A look inside the high technology design and manufacturing facilities of Ruote O.Z. Racing s.p.a. in Italy will unveil what it takes to create an O.Z. Racing wheel that is a winner on the highway and the race track. Each stage of production focuses on creating a stronger, more beautiful wheel.

O.Z. Racing never compromises on quality and complies with all official regulations of their client countries, including the stringent rules of T.U.V., the German control office. O.Z. Racing constantly submits their wheels to multiple comprehensive testing to measure road stress. And to detect minute flaws, wheels are put under pressure in a specially designed water tank and scanned for hidden flaws by X-ray. Further examination is done by computer and electron microscopes. Finally, the seams of the wheel are worked by hand and an anti-corrosion treatment is given, followed by a protective lacquer coating and final cleaning.

Every O.Z. Racing wheel combines elegant design, the latest manufacturing technology and scientific precision to create a winning harmony between the beauty of form and the quality of function that is the trademark of O.Z. Racing.

n 2006, The Tire Rack became the North American distributor for O.Z. wheels. This exclusive partnership includes O.Z.'s prestigious, custom 3-piece wheel program.

O.Z.'s custom program allows The Tire Rack to maximize wheel fitment without the limitations associated with one-piece wheels. The Tire Rack's fitment specialists work to find the best balance between required brake clearance and maximum outer lip depth for the most aggressive appearance. Applications are available for many of the world's most exotic cars including Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Porsche. But you don't have to own an exotic car to enjoy the quality and prestige of an O.Z. 3-piece wheel. Wheels are available for a wide variety of luxury and performance cars, as well.

Thanks for the hint.

I called and was told i needed a part number, and that carlsson would have it. I was bounced around for a bit and have had no luck.
Would it be on the inside of the wheel?

Luke,

The Valve Stems that I purchased from you were the incorrect ones, they will not fit my wheels and all of them are in the same seal and not openned. Are Valve stem special order items?

Can I return them and get a refund since they weren't the right ones?

give me a call and we can see if there is another possible option ... when working with older wheels like those and not having the exact measurements sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to find the correct application.
