WHEELS

Mine are in the original silver sparkle Len, with new inserts. I think its a slightly deeper colour than the original MG but adds a bit of lustre therefore. 
 

Just finished spraying the one wheel ,which was quite badly gouged and scratched .Did it in Anthrasite  grey Looks better than black Len 

Can anyone confirm is the 6 spoke wheel in silver sparkle posted just before the last one from Len is a 16” wheel and if so which model and model year did that come from. The one I am referring to seems to be added or amended by David following a post by Judith’s Handyman if that makes sense.
i need to find out details for those wheels for insurance purposes. I think they might be from a 2002 model year and if they were an option in a December 2002 for a 135 TF. I think those fitted to my car may not be original and therefore a modification.
can anyone help please?

Hopefully they should be listed here Del http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/suspension/wheel_options_for_the_mgf.htm

Hi the wheel nuts on my F are torqued @ 70nm as per the book, but on the list you posted it says 90nm which I believe in incorrect.

Hi that looks to be a very good job, rattle cans or? What colour is your car?

There was an MGR advisory sent out a considerable number of years ago upping the torque to 90nm. This was due to a few rare examples of wheel nuts coming loose.
 

Just checked the tyres on my TF and the rear are 215 R16 and the front are 195  R16 the car is a 2003 1800cc Hope this helps Len

Hi I wasn't aware of that, thanks I'll have to make a note of it.

Morning the car is MBB silver .The rim was really gouged so I thought Id start afresh I had my paint supplier mix me a tin of Anthresite  grey and he said the tin should do 4 rims ,so well see cost £12 I then sprayed 4 coats of 2 pack lacquer which Im using for spraying the body .

I'm impressed with your work and that you spray in 2-pack in your home garage.
