Just back from a meeting on the M6 to pick up my wheels, lots of strange looks as boxes and cash were exchanged in the car park ! I can confirm that two wheels minus boxes will fit in the boot, the other two stacked up on the front seat without any visibility problems. A big thank you to Adrian, Dawn, Mark and Mark's son for driving to collect the wheels. And you had no problem with the wheels getting damaged? Looks like I may be in for a road trip then!

No damage as long as the boot is empty there is room, I used a couple of old travel rugs and the folded boxes to pack around them to stop any movement, the boxes on the front seats just need the seatbelts or some strapping to prevent them tipping over onto the driver on left hand bends, or maybe take the corners slightly slower !!

Hi, the wheels are here now and they are rather nice. I think they might look better on a black MGTF rather than a blue one Anyway does anyone know whether we will need some O’Rings / Spigot Rings to fit the wheels, and the size? I assume we should be alright with our original nuts? Also do you think we can use the original centre caps out of the 11 spoke wheels?

Are these alloys 7.0j x 16 or 6.0j by 16 ?

Dave
They look awesome on your car however i am going to to be selling my set as i don't think they look as good as my square spokes on my F
If anyone wants them i have 5 and i am looking to recover what i paid for them (minimum) . If i get no takers they will be going on ebay and i hope to get a profit on them
PM me if you missed out and still want a set.
cheers

They look better on a TF IMO. I'm looking forward to seeing what mine are like on my car now!
