MG ZR 17" Straights

[tommyk]

Alright guys

Took her to the garage yesterday, and was told that my wheels will need replacing very siin as they are very corroded throughout. They have done 94000 miles, so cant really complain. There are a set of the MGZR straights for sale for around £150, so was basicly wonderin what you think the BRM looks like with these wheels? I dont remember seeing a picture of one.

Cheers

Personally i prefer the brm cosmos over any other style, but straights would be my second choice and i do think they would look smart. The only problem i can see is what would you do about the centre caps?

[tommyk]

Yea, I was worrying about that, can you not buy rover center caps/stickers?

[**Warren**R200]

you cant get rover centre caps for the straights, the centre caps on the straights are much larger than any rover ones. You mite be able to get hold of some rover stickers to go over the mg badge, brm stickers would look the best but i think you would have to get them specially made.

Why not get the originals refurbished? Or look on ebay for another set. I got a set of 4 brand new Cosmos alloys off ebay for £95 a few weeks ago, I think a few others on here had a set as well.

I take it the tyres are loosing air due to the alloy becoming porous? If this is the case not much you can do.

exactly what is happening. Have had to have the tyres re-sealed twice in the last 3 months.

Had a look on ebay, and there are only one set of alloys, which need a full new set of tyres, which would cost me over 200quid anyway!

Maybe Adam could get me some BRM stickers made up from his supplier? I would happilly pay, obviously!

thanks mate, but am not sure that I like the look of them on the r200!

Good luck selling them though!

Cheers m8, they would look better with springs that make the car level, lol

Did put them on my BRM briefly and it did look pretty good but i decided to keep it orginal
