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.

    Anyone painted their wheel trims?

    Along with the vehicle wrap, has anyone had a go at painting the wheel trims? I have a white ZS EV arriving in a couple of weeks and am tempted to gloss the trims in black completely alongside wrapping the grill in black, lower sills, roof, mirror caps and killing the crhome.

    Wheel Arch Gap

    Hi, I have had my 5 for a month now and I am very impressed so far. I have noticed there seems quite a big gap between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. Is this normal? Thanks Frank

    Water in the boot - where spare wheel normally is - MG5LR

    I got my 5 LR last year (end of September), and a few months back, I noticed water in the boot. It looks like water was getting in from day one, but because it was not too much, I did not see it until a couple of months back when this got bad. Since then, the car has been in MG garage x2 for a...

    Alloy Wheel Protection

    I managed to do some research on keeping the Alloy wheels protected to the maximum extend. Especially the edge of the wheel from causing Kerb Damages. Found a very good product. Ordered them and fitted them. You can also order them and get it fitted by your local tyre shop. Fitting is quite...

    Driving with a space saver spare wheel

    I thought people might be interested in my experience of driving my ZS EV with a space saver spare. I had a slow puncture in the front driver's side tyre - a screw found it's way into the tyre. The garage decided the tyre couldn't be repaired and ordered a replacement. Until it arrived and...

    Steering wheel voice?

    I’ve had a look but didn’t see it on the thread, so I had another test drive the other day (I’ve ordered a ZS trophy) I don’t know what car i was driving, but thought it would have been the trophy Ismart, or whatever you’d like to call it, so as I was driving along, I pressed the steering wheel...

    Space Saver Wheel versus Full Size Spare?

    I really dislike the idea of being limited to a space saver wheel having grown up with full size spares. Over the course of about 54yrs driving around in many different cars had to use the spare on numerous occasions, especially when living in Africa where the roads tended to rip your tyres to...

    Plastic Wheel Trim

    So having the new Mg Zs ev Trophy model, the plastic wheel trims are quite fiddly to get off if you need to change a wheel for puncture’s etc. Being in the cold weather, the plastic to me feels like it would break if to much pressure is given. As anyone tried taking them off yet.

    Movement in steering wheel tilt mechanism

    I have noticed the steering wheel tilt mechanism feels slightly loose when locked in position and it still moves/clicks slightly up and down. My local MG service centre took a look and said this is normal. Has anyone else noticed this? and if so can it be fixed. Thanks

    MG ZS EV Spare wheel.

    I will shortly (I hope) be upgrading to a new LR ZSev. I have a spare wheel in my current car and will want one in the new one. Does anybody know if it will fit or do I need to shell out on a new one?
