Basically my cosmos are in need of a re-furb. Actually the tyres arent much good either! So I was thinking, maybe it my be better (cheaper and easier too!) to get wheels with tyres from e-bay or similar?
I want to get cosmos, but they are very hard to find! Ive seen very very similar 45 wheels though? They "cant" be the same though, can they? (I know they have a rover centre cap!). "IF!" they are the same size etc, it could well be worth me getting a set of these, keeping my cosmos, get them re-furbed , then Id have two sets of wheels?
OR!!!!!! would "any" 200, 25, Z.R alloys fit onto B.R.M.?
I want to stay original alloys (ie cosmos!) but it seems it will be cheaper and easier if I get other Rover alloys (if they fit!) and get my cosmos refurbed gradually? That way it wont be a hassle, either taking the B.R.M. itself. in to get all 4 wheels done at same time, or I wont have tp take them in "one at a time!".
Sorry for such a long post ! Basically! what other Rover alloys fit straight onto my car without ant bodging! Cheers!

They are identical apart from one thing i found. The centre cap location is different.

I bought some random cosmos a while back and the centres were ever so slightly different.

No! I just want to know if they would fit! I dont see why they shouldnt though? I mean they are 205/50/16.
I may also look into getting some z.r. hairpins. I need tyre anyway, so it could well be cheaper to get 4 from e-bay, with decent tyres, then that gives me time to re-furb my cosmos! I mean otherwise, I need tyres on my cosmos anyway, plus they dont look too good!
SO! Will "any" rover 16 inch wheels fit onto the B.R.M?
Cheers guys!

Rover 200 25 400 45 MG ZR ZS wheels will fit

Ya best bet is to find some ZR wheels (Hairpins) with tyres to use while you refurb the cosmos.

Thats what I think Ill do! Ill look for a set with decent tyres on, then get my ccosmos re-furbed! Plus I like the look of the hairpins anyway! lol!
