Can anyone tell me please if the MG4 comes with lockable wheel nuts ?

No locking nuts on mine

No locking nuts on mine

Oooh er ...where did you buy yours from ?

 

[siteguru]

Not checked mine (haven't taken off the aero covers) but I'm not expecting to find any.

Several reviews of the MG4 have commented on this fact.

I don't think the MG4 comes with any wheel nuts at all

 

[siteguru]

The nut's behind the steering wheel.

And some of those definitely need locking up ?

 

[Cocijo]

Or locking in…

No locking nuts.
No one steals alloys these days, especially the dull as ditchwater 17” things on the 4.
The covers are a more attractive theft option than the wheels.

Zip ties then instead of locking nuts.

That just about sums it up!! Never come across the 'cover' option before.
Changing from a Honda e to MG4 ... a whole new experience.

They are aero covers. Many EVs have them to improve air flow.

I can only think of the Tesla M3 and MG4 having alloys covered with aero trims?
What others have them?

Even the upgraded model 3's don't have them, performance has 20 inch alloys and the long range can have 18s with aero's or 19 inch alloys

Well I think that the plastic wheel covers are a good idea. My current car unfortunately has kerb damage to all 4 wheels. And they can cost quite a lot to repair. Dealer says the MG4 aero covers are under £50 to replace. What is not too like.

 

[Deleted member 10041]

Just don't kerb it? judge the distance!

I don't think the plastic covers are there as the first line of defence against kerbing. They will get scruffier quicker than alloys being scraped against kerbs and who wants to shell out £50 a pop to replace them when you don't have too. There's a simple answer

Most companies just fit nice alloys to begin with.
MG have decided bad alloys and then covers are a better idea.
I don’t really mind as the covers look good, but it’s a bit weird.

On the subject of nice alloys, I came across a youtube vid where an MG4 had some aftermarket aero style alloy wheels fitted and to my eye they were fairly similar in style to the standard MG aero wheel covers. Could be a potential option for some who are looking to upgrade to something in keeping with the originals aesthetic. Certainly a shame the cost saving translates to a lack of official wheel options.

Nice, they look like 18s or 19s
I fitted 18” Qashqai wheels to my leaf.

 

[Hboutdat]

Yeah 19's in the pics/video although searching them up on the interwebs it looks like you can get them in 18's also if you prefer a bit more rubber.
Hard to believe those are 18's in your Leaf pic, that chunky boi makes them look like 15s... but thats evs for you. ?
