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.

    Australian Space Saving Wheel & Tyre

    Has anybody in Australia managed to get a space saving wheel and tyre for an Essence 64? Or has anyone tried the Audi A5 collapsable tyre idea? I’m going outside reasonable ‘roadside assist’ distance in a month and I don’t fancy relying on spray foam kit!

    Wheel trim top coat peeling off.

    Has anyone experienced the clear top coat peeling away from the surface of the wheel trims on ZS ev. I'm very disappointed that MG has declined this as a warranty claim on a two year old car.

    TPMS

    I have a warning of a fault with the TPMS on one wheel. Instead of pressure being shown as a number in white there are orange dashes. Has anyone had this and worked out how to fix this?

    Will 18'' wheel caps fit on 17'' wheels?

    Anyone knows if I can buy the more expensive model's wheel caps and put them on my base version's wheels? Also, it would be great if someone made and sold custom wheel caps for the MG4. I wish we had a whole array of them to choose.

    Hi, I searched in the forum and couldn't find the answer to this. For mg MG4 Trophy EV, the steering wheel appears stiff when on Adaptive Cruise Control. What I mean by stiff is if you're trying to re-align the car in the lane and move the steering wheel slightly, the steering wheel is very...

    Locking Wheel Nuts?

    I thought I'd done well, 16 months in and no wheel or tyre damage. Then I kerbed the front nearside. Fortunately have alloy wheel cover. The repairer's instructions state that the "locking wheel nut key" must be available. Can't find one, anywhere with the car. Not referred to in the Owners...

    MG Jack & jacking point

    I bought an MG space saver wheel with jack from MG but I cannot see where the jack fits. The manual on page 232 says "Note that the domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding recess in the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator ...)". The jack has no doomed head and I cannot see...

    Wheel trim theft?

    One of my MG4 wheel trims 'disappeared' in a garden centre car park whilst we were inside, I had not kerbed my car or collided with anything. I looked to ebay for a new one but those there were all used. Are some people pinching wheel trims only to sell them back on ebay and get a 'good ebayer'...

    LED display on steering column

    Issue with Steering Wheel Button Programming on MG4 Trophy EV After R46 Update - Anyone Else?

    I now want my LH steering wheel button for the 360 degree camera but when I try it reverts to energy recovery. What am I doing wrong? Excuse the shaky video. The RH button is not a problem it accepts any change.
