OZ Navajo Wheels

I have a set of 17" OZ Navajo Wheels that I had installed on my 1997 Expedition. About 2 years ago, I lost a center cap. Since I was deploying to Iraq, I simply installed my factory 17 in wheels with the Offroad tires, and figured I would deal with it when I return.

I am looking for resources to obtain a replacement center cap. I have attempted to contact OZ directly, but no response. I have sent a message to Tire Rack, but nothing yet. OZ has discontinued the wheels, that I know.

Does anyone have a good resource for finding parts like this?

Thanks,
Vincent

Truck sold

I sold the Expedition several months ago when I purchased a 2008 Super Duty King Ranch. Sorry.

Several years ago I did manage to purchase one directly from OZ North America. I think it was about $55. The problem is the center cap attaches at two points. The screws are stainless and go into the soft aluminum, they tend to work loose. The other attachment point is worse, a small plastic lip. After I lost the first, I reinforced the centercaps and made a metal bracket to replace the plastic lip, using aluminum and aircraft adhesive (Hysol 9309). The second one we lost, was the one cap I didn't reinforce because it was newer.

I don't have the receipt or number I contacted OZ with when I bought the replacement cap, but I did try and contact them via e-mail and they also said "discountinued".

Good luck.
