18" ZT Wheels

PaulG · 27th November 2006, 15:32

Visited my local ex MG / Rover dealer at the weekend. They had a pair of 18 x 7.5J 15 spoke ZT wheels for sale. Brand new and what seemed to me to be not a lot of money each. Anyone interested?

Yes but would need two or three more, I don't like these Apex alloys at all they don't suit my Black car imho

Sorry they only have the two. I had thought about them for my 75, but I would also need 2 / 3 more + tyres, and I'm not sure they would look right either. Would really like to replace my standard Connie wheels as I really don't like the Crowns it came with.

They were looking for £40 each, which seemed pretty good compared with X-Part prices for other similar wheels, although I haven't seen the same wheels on their site.

What you telling me they don't look right!

They've got a new set (five) of M3's on. That said I would swop for a like wise set of Apex Keith as I do like them.

OK, you got me on that one..... just couldn't visualise it. They do look good with Royal Blue don't they.... same colour as mine, perhaps I should get them myself then. Could introduce some 'interesting handling effects though only fitting a pair

How horrendous are 18" tyre prices then?

I paid £137 each which is not that bad. Put the Rover badge on which made them look the part.

Thanks Tim,
The Rover badge does finish them off OK. The first two wheels would obviously be the cheap bit....two more, plus wheel centres, plus tyres. All starting to add up really, but I guess it would stick to the black stuff like a limpet then. Suppose it would be cheaper than the V8 I keep trying to convince my wife I should buy though.

You wouldn't want mine they all have scuffs or have been kerbed to a degree

And I still haven't got all the Brake dust off yet! It has taken two bottles of wonder wheels so far
