wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Locking wheel nuts.

    MG ZS hybrid Trophy. Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase locking wheel nuts for this vehicle. I cannot find any listed st Halfords or St MG. Have they not been designed yet for this new model? Do the previous ZS EV models also fit the hybrid, nobody is sure.

    Train TPMS on wheel location

    I bought this tool for the Mrs Vauxhall to train the car to know which wheel is on which corner, is there an equivalent process for the MG ZS? If the wheels have been moved around due to getting the tyres replaced do we need to train the car or does it know automatically the tyre position?

    Hi! I tried changing to winter wheels today on my MG4 trophy extended range. The winter wheels are 215/50 R17 size and seem to be pressing down on the calipers in the front. Is this size too small? Manual tells me it should be good. Thanks in advance.
