wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Wheel bolt covers

    Pre facelift 5, Locking wheel nuts.

    Just to double-check but the pre facelift MG5 didn't ever come with locking wheel nuts as standard, did it? I don't recall ever seeing a locking wheel nut key/thing, and I got the car as a pre-reg a couple of years back, so I presume unless the dealer added them it won't have them. Otherwise I...

    Wheel trims

    I have a 23 plate long range ZS , I have to admit to the fact it took me a while to realise the “ alloy” wheel trims were in fact plastic! Now “ bubbles “ have appeared on said plastic, as if the top layer is peeling. Is this a common fault ? Will I get them replaced under warranty? Thanks

    MGS5 Locking Wheel Bolts

    Just remembered that my MGS5 came with a set of locking bolts. Strangely, they were packed in with the tools so not actually fitted to the car. Haven't fitted them yet and have no particular intention to do so but have other owners got these fitted?

    Tips to restore wheel covers?

    Anyone knows what's the color code of the grey parts? I've noticed it's just a thin layer, and I'd like to re-apply it as part of maintenance.

    Anyone seen any wheel corrosion or rust yet?

    Hi all, I'm getting closer to the point where I'm ready to buy a used Cyberster, so would appreciate any input on the following. Is anyone seeing any wheel corrosion starting at all as yet on the diamond cut GT wheels? And, has anyone seen rusting anywhere else at all, around pressed holes...

    For Sale MG5 Full Size Spare Wheel & OEM Tyre (16")

    Sold my MG5 so I no longer require this. Never actually needed to use it in my four years of ownership but it was good insurance nonetheless. Having a full size spare means you can return immediately to unrestricted use following a puncture so is superior to a space saver. Have to admit that I...

    Polystyrene airpump and gunge holder.

    Hi, I have just ordered a spacesaver spare wheel, tool kit and wheel bag for my MG4. Is it possible to remove the polystyrene tray that holds the gunk pump and gubbins? The extra space would be useful.

    Spare wheel on the Xpower

    I see on the main MG4 forum there is a thread around fitting a full size spare in the boot, I've seen various space saver spare kits advertised on Amazon and Ebay, but has anyone put a spare in the Xpower? Is there room to fit one under the boot floor?

    Full size spare wheel for MG4?

    I hate the idea of the bottle of tire-destroying-gloop as being my way home in the event of a puncture. In my previous car (Nissan Qashqai) I pulled out that polystyrene former from under the boot and bought a full sized wheel to go under there (it fit, just) and although I never needed it in...

    Full size spare wheel / tyre, Excite 51. Load ratings for after market rims.

    I got a multifit after-market spare rim from Bob Jane as a full size spare for an Excite 51. The load rating of the spare rim is 581kg. The load rating of the factory supplied rim is about 670 kg. Is the load rating of the new spare rim ok for an Excite 51?

    ZS Hybrid heated steering wheel

    It seems that only some markets got the heated steering wheel. I was expecting that the top of range MY25 Jan build Essence model in Australia would have got this option. But no it didn't, but it did get the heated seeats which are great here in the middle of Winter with -2 degrees C overnight...

    Detailed Look at the Dash, Driver Display and Steering Wheel Functions

    As the .pdf owners manual on the MGS5 provides so little information about the infotainment system, this might be helpful . . . or like us early owners, you can just spend hours playing with all the settings.
