If the wheels are available for the ZS and ZT I might be interested in several sets of each.

Wouldn't it be usefull to start a non-UK list as well ?!? As it looks now, we've been dropped.
I've got no problem to drive up to Germany to collect the wheels with destination Belgium.

Erik, maybe you should contact Scotty quick.
Hakan is speaking to him today, I have told him I want all of the wheels, if he has promised Scotty any I would say that would be your best bet.
I have been told that they are fully EU compliant as they were made specifically for the car, I await full details later. I will then pass on the details, hopefully I can also give you the amount I can have and any other plans Hakan and I can make.
These are now close and I have started a reserve list, as I have had a PM for a set of four, what I need now is confirmation from those are not sure, sorry about this, those of you that know me will realise I am very patient however for these to be delivered, I will arrange the payment details, we must know who is going to get them for sure and that they will pay for them. Hakan is spending a large amount of his own money to secure these, I don't want to let him down (or any of you for that matter).
Thanks to those of you that have passed the word around and secured these rare wheels for our community.
Ralph, I'll ask about wheels for the ZR/ZS for you.

Some technical answers have been provided :
The offset is 26 and the centre cap is 60mm with the MG logo, they are fully EEC compliant.
Numbers will be with me tonight.

Lee, I admire your enthusiasm, however I cannot say how many wheels we will get because I don't know how many Roadsterhouse have agreed to buy, I have put forward my case for you all.
Payment will be by money transfer to Hakan (I'll get all of the details), I'll also organise the wheels arrival and liaise with the new owners to collect or whatever is most suitable. I am thinking of areas where you can help each other out.
It's 10.30 now, I doubt if I will find out more tonight, I'll keep you all informed as soon as I get news.

We have wheels !!!!!!!!!!
I have managed to get 82 of the 90 wheels, so as it stands I will try to be fair here and let the first answers get their choice. I received a few requests by email and PM so I will put theirs in at the date and time they were requested. I have calculated to be fair to you all the delivery and individual cost and it works out at £64 per wheel including delivery and vat, that means £256 for four and £329 for five. I have one wheel left over, which is not much use to me so I would be really happy for somebody to take five who has ordered four. Please let me know as soon as possible as I cannot be stuck with this at my expense, I need all wheels allocated before we can move ahead with this.
I have the following :
Dave Morris 5 (collect from home) Mark Leonard 4 Darren Brown 5 (collect from home) David P 5 Tim 5 Emma 5 Jonny 5 Chris Mills 4 Stu 4 Erik 4 (collect while in the Uk for Silverstone) Art 4 John Baker 4 Gary Browne 5 Chris T 5 Puds 121 5 Balrog 4 Mark Warn 4 (collect from home) Stiff 4
This, as you can see totals 81.
What I don't know at this stage is when they will be delivered, but, I have been assured it will be prompt. To make things easy I have asked to have them delivered to my house for the following reasons, no storage costs, safety, accountability and i can organise collections. What I need you to do is arrange amongst yourselves how you are going to collect them and when, I can give you a time somebody will be here to release them, hence, I guess my house is as good as anywhere unless anybody has a better idea.
If you have missed out, I am sorry but as you can see there are only 90 of these wheels made, I will keep a "reserve list" in case anybody changes their mind or does not pay.
As for payment, I am going to open an account for this as I have to pay Hakan £5248, when I have the details of this I will put it here and I would need prompt payment as he will have to then pay this to the importer and the delivery company to get the wheels to me. I appreciate this is another of these trust things, I trust Hakan to do what he says he will as do I, we are not a business with a large capital we are the same as you, individuals with a love of the marque and friends within the club. So, please have the cheques ready for immediate dispatch as soon as I have set up the account. If you change your mind or cannot pay, please let me know, I can then bring in a replacement order.
The reserve list currently stands as :
MGR 4 L100MGTF 5 Matt 4 cyerricki 4 Jonathan Lee 4
It is becoming apparent that these wheels are Italian made, possibly Alessio, as they made my 17" Alaska's, Hakan believes production of these wheels are in the process of being transferred to China, there is also more items, that were ordered by MGR Scandinavia in warehouses, they are being sourced at the moment to ascertain what is available.

Adrian when you say more items do you mean different F / TF wheels ?

Not as yet Darren, the only things so far are mats. I think the exclusivity of the wheels are assured.
