wheels

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 are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly 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 contraption that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Alternating wheels to even out tyre wear

    Has anyone alternated the wheels on an mg5, and did it cause issues with the tyre pressure monitoring systems? Cheers

    Alloys

    Well i reckon they look ok, with the added bonus of being able to inflate the tyres rather than deflate, unlike the plastic frisbees.

    Aftermarket Wheels

    I'm not 100% sold on the "Aero trims" for the MG4. Has anyone had any experience swapping out the wheels for something else? How does it look? Any noticeable changes in the drive?

    Down under you get bigger Wheels and Batteries 77kwh

    According to this report from the Electric Viking in Australia the MG4 comes with far more choices including bigger wheels and one with. 77KWH battery and it’s cheaper by some way, but most importantly listen to what he has to say about the dealers almost at the end around 14:35 into the video.
