Its quite hard to find a set of alloys which really suit the 75's or ZT's.

Yeah they are great alloys, very strong wheels, never pit or corrrode... but they are not cheap.

and as they were on my car

Would love to see a Paintshop of these wheels on 190setourings car....

Ah fox RS alloys, funny enough I was looking at a set of Fox RS deep dish alloys for my ZT recently:

I chickened out in the end and got myself a set of apex's last week

hope this thread will not be closed as did the one for the oak dash

Why are those threads closed, just because of a comment by someone that doesnt like it.

Always thought these 19" alloys would look good on a V8 or any other facelift for that matter.....

Not cheap though at £612 a set (Tyres extra).

Jay · 3rd June 2014, 03:22

Or these if you want to go for 18" alloys

£1224 (without adding the cost of tyres)

I frickin' love deep dish alloys.
The ZT has the right look about it to suit them. Preferably I'd go for a fairly plain and simple deep dish. Kinda subtle deep dishy goodness hehe.

V8 Cars were also supplied direct from the factory with grid spokes.

QUOTE=Sonic ZS;1694883]Each to their own with things like this. However...

I read somewhere that it was only ever Apex's and Straights/11 Spokes fitted to the MG V8 models, as these were the only wheel styles strong enough to safely handle the extra power/torque.

As both these designs have many spokes (hence directly spreading all the additional load around the body of the wheel), can you be sure your new ones will be strong enough, especially with just 5 spokes ?

I appreciate this is a somewhat simplistic way of looking at it, but could get interesting if you were to crack the centre from an aftermarket wheel

Good luck whatever you choose

Well, like the man in the orthapeadic shoes, I stand corrected...

But I can't say I've ever seen one and pretty certain it wasn't an option in the brochure ?

However, I know some odd specs did slip out occasionally.
