Hi Guys,

I'll throw this out to the general population but thought I might check with the locals first.

After finally getting them restored it seems I have lost a centre cap for my Sparcos.... It's somewhere between here and Batemans Bay so no chance of getting it back. These wheels I believe to be called Sparco Pythons although I have also seen them referred to as Vipers.

I've attached a pic to remind you all of what these look like... (Bear in mind that mine are a different red as they have been painted which is what I'll do if I find another) If anyone sees a set of these anywhere or has some sort of idea where I can find another please let me know. I have already begun searching the globe but I don't think they will be easy to find.

Please let me know if you have any ideas I'm so pissed off!! I have found one set for sale but at $750 for 17x7s it is really not my desired option.

Cheers

Kat

good luck!

i had a set of these rims, took me a few years to find a centre cap/nut for it.

there is a similar rim which is called python NSII, but i'm pretty sure they are actually called Sparco Hyper Fang II.

yep.. most places just list them as sparco rims..

took me ages to find the name, and then source some centre caps... i *may* be able to find out where my old rims went, because i had 7 caps (original 3 plus the 4 i bought) cant promise anything though!

  • 2 weeks later...

Have you tried contacting Sparco directly? I had a similar issue with my Koya rims, the centre cap on one rim lost the top cap thing and the logo started to fade. E-mailed Koya and they sent me a set of four by express post at no charge. Worth a try!

OMG Really????????? They are 17x9s and I think the offset might be around 40 but don't quote me on that part... I would be forever in your debt for a full new set of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to find a contact for Sparco but easier said than done.

Ok Kat, I called my contact for Sparco parts (not wheels unfortunately) and he said that these wheels arent imported anymore as they dont sell enough units.

The Sparco motorsports parts importer is Unique Autosports - (02) 9620 9000, Im told that the centre caps that youre after will most likely have to be ordered from Italy so expect to pay big $$$ for them.

Thats the best I have, sorry :(

Thankyou matey I will give them a call. Will also try Crimson in Japan who are the ones that make the wheels.

These shouldn't be coming from Italy, should be coming from Japan... The hard thing is we have Sparco in Italy and we have SPARCO Racing in Japan. These are the Racing ones. Had someone from Sparco clear that up for me :(

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
