NEW WHEELS ARE HERE AND NOW FITTED ???

[Ian MG5]

Hi all
My new wheels are here????
They are 16” so I am using the original tyres (just to keep the comfort side of things)
I said I wasn’t going to do anything to this car but that’s just me I suppose
Once a boy racer always a boy racer at heart
Going to get them to fitted tomorrow
I will add photos of them on the car tomorrow
???????
Let’s hope they fit???

I got them from extreme alloy wheels in Scotland
They were up at £450 but got them for £420????

It's a definite bonus to have any wheel that's easier to clean!

Couple of questions if I may. Could you re-use the MG bolts or did you have to buy new ones? What is the centre bore on those alloys, is it exactly same as OEM wheels? Did you have to get new centre caps? Thanks

Hi
Bolts are domed (not chamfered like mg) on new wheels but the wheels came with a full fitting kit
The centre bore on the new wheels is bigger than the mg wheels but a set of spigot rings are included in the fitting kit
The centre caps are included with the wheels I just bought some mg stickers for them from eBay (about £5)

I think the wheels are very similar to the 1 series though

You've not put the stickers on straight, the back wheel is on upside down, and the front is sideways.
