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.

    I am new to the MG community forum but have followed discussions/podcasts over several months and remember some correspondence regarding obtaining temporary spare wheel kits from sources other than MG at significant savings. Can anyone advise details of these compatible items?

    Putting a complete wheel in the Exclusive boot as a spare.

    With the boot floor in the Exclusive raised to its higher position, there appears to be a lot more space where normally you would fit a space saver wheel. My question is, I wonder, is there sufficient space to fit a complete normal wheel as a spare, not a space saver one? Maybe there is another...

    Audi To MG Wheel Cap Conversion.

    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...

    Wheel Alignment?

    Has anyone had one done? Also does anyone know if the 5 only can have the fronts aligned or is it 4-wheel alignment? I drove a Vauxhall MPV over the weekend and compared to it the 5's stearing feels strange (well imprecise), so I'm thinking of getting it looked. Thanks
