HERE are the proper pics I promised

One thing I have to say though...damn, they take some cleaning, took 40 mins cleaning the wheels alone for that 'shoot :nutter: , and that was only the outside.....used to take me 5 mins max!

Just over a year later, and most of the laquer is starting to flake off. The powdercoating then gets a stained colour, and takes a bit of cleaning.

Not what i was expecting this soon. Gonna have a chat with the supplier and OZ, and see what they say.

Worst comes to worst, i'll have to take them all off and relaquer them

Well I rang the supplier who said they were out of warranty

So I emailed OZ German HQ, who said they were still covered

I think they have a two year warranty on them.

I rang the supplier back up, and they seemed suprised, but asked me to send in photo's....so hopefully im on the road to a replacement.

Bit worried the replacements will do the same after 2 years though

Here's some pics of whats happened. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress










Cheers,

Kristian

Well, after sending pictures and a few emails, www.alloywheels.com aka rochford tyres state that they are not under their warranty, despite the manufacturer telling me they are.

They said I should not have gone and spoken to any other company (even though it was the manufacturer) about the wheels and "I can not help you any further with this matter"

So.....I have sent a reply back to OZ Germany, I don't know what they will say, or how long the reply will take though

Anyone know where I stand on this issue?

Cheers,

Kristian

Just one thing OZ are an Italian company with I believe associate partners in Germany and Japan, but the manufacturing base is still Italy so wondering why you contacted German company and not Italian?

As far as where you stand, its a tough one, the reseller is a representative of the manufacturer and as such they provide the warranty. As for warranty lengths in different countries to be unequal, its not unheard of, as of course different countries have there own laws.

I emailed OZ Italy, and OZ Germany.

For some reason I thought it was the german one that replied, but i just checked and the reply was from Alberto Zorzi, O.Z. S.p.A. I pressume that is an italian name lol

well if neither is any help,you may have to start going down the route of the sale of goods act
if other countries have a 2 year warrenty and we have 1 then it may lend more strength to your case

 

[Brooky]

just sell the wheels......to me

 

[gazzaman2k]

get them sandblasted and powdercoated, they dont need laquering as thats only to hold the OZ writing on, just get them put into pure white powedercoat
