Its got the wrong alloys on (too weak). Bargaining tool.... also a querying tool, eg, Why were they changed?

the alloys that are on it are fine, its the hairpins that are the weak type for the 260's

I've seen a couple of V8's with them, its also on the monogram option list for the 190 and 260.

Don't know about those, but I always thought it was these sort that weren't strong enough? Where's the Rince when you need him? :D

You might be right - although it's not in my monogram book(let)...
In the brochure it certainly doesn't say that they're NOT an option for the 260...so perhaps they were. I had it in my head that the only 'approved' wheels were the 2 types of straights, Apex and Vortex (RV8)...there might be some other RV8 wheels that I'm missing...some 17s?

I remember seeing some weights of the wheels somewhere and if that is anything to go on (which it might be...:confused:)...then the hairpins (which I know are not approved) really were the lightweights and the straights the heaviest with grids somewhere in-between...so...
...I'm not keen on the grids anyway...:D:D...

err.... yeah... too many wheels, I get confused easily :)

Someone should make an alloy thread with pics and names of each type of MG wheel for the ZT range :)

As I understand it the hairpins (Reverie158 picture) are the only wheels which are not approved for the V8. The grids are okay but, being a snob, they were standard on the ZT120. Why would you want someone to think you are in a 120.:eek:

Theres a file on the MG/ZT owners forum with all the wheel options for all the MG's,including ours

The file is v.v. big so I won't post it but go to the site homepage, (not the forum) then find members/downloads/build your own MG -it's in one of the dropdowns

I'll try and post the link but that's a bit complex for me!!

By the way - Four types approved for the V8!

So those are the MK2 alloys, is the only other wheel approved the straight type jobbies fitted to the MK1s?
