When I fixed the puncture, I didn't notice anything different about the valve 🤔 But there must be some electronic trickery going on somewhere!

Thanks 🙂 Having taken a wheel off to try the 17" Audi wheels, there was no noticeable tyre pressure sensor equipment... does anyone know how the system works? I got a flat a few weeks ago and it flanged it up instantly.

I never gave it a second thought, let's see what happens 🙂

I'll see if the new wheel / tyre combination makes a significant difference to the handling, I can always put 225 45 17s on as I have a dozen lying around, but the 50s definitely fill the arches better. Here's all 4 caps ready to finish the job, I might refurbish the wheels too if I like the...

These were applied to the caps, with a 2mm oversize that the chrome ring squeezes in on, making sure they don't peel. Pretty pleased with the outcome! 🙂

I found a chap on Ebay selling 40mm chrome MG decals, and he kindly put them on 60mm matt black discs for less than £4 including postage!

Using clear tape to protect the rest of the cap, each one was rubbed down, retaining the slight dome shape

The recesses where the Audi emblems sit are quite deep, so a smear of body filler in each was necessary.

The caps have a press-out Audi emblem and chrome ring, so these were all carefully removed.

I love my MG5 EV, but after a lifetime in motorsport I don't really like the 205 60 16 wheel and tyre arrangement fitted as standard. After a bit of research it seemed that VAG 5x112 wheels would fit and having found a set fitted with 205 50 17s for £100, the seller let me try them on to make...

This one for example!

Thanks for that, all the searches I come up with say 5x100, think I'll ring MG themselves to make sure!

I have always found my 5 to be a little "scrubby" near the limit, particularly on roundabouts. I have been looking for suitable 17" wheels so I can use my large stock of 225 45 17s accumulated for track days with my Honda Prelude. Does anyone know the PCD, centre bore and offset? I think it's...

I just got a cheap one from Halfords, £22. And used HALF a Halfords dog guard, £16. Boot is great for my 3 small dogs and it's pretty well protected 🙂
