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.

    taller tyres on MG5?

    Has anyone tried taller tyres on the MG5? I have a FL. I was wondering about putting all seasons, in a slightly bigger size, perhaps 215/60/r17, 215/55/r17, or even 225/55/r17. The aim would be to improve comfort, and to fill up the arches a little more. The current wheel tyre combo looks a...

    Steel rims - Anyone?

    After buying the MG3, I had actually planned to change to a set of ugly and cheap 16" steel rims with winter tires. I asked several dealers here in Germany, who all have access to various wholesalers, but the answer was always the same: there are currently no suitable steel rims for the MG3...

    Will 18'' wheel caps fit on 17'' wheels?

    Anyone knows if I can buy the more expensive model's wheel caps and put them on my base version's wheels? Also, it would be great if someone made and sold custom wheel caps for the MG4. I wish we had a whole array of them to choose.

    Wild thing got Wilder!

    Hi Guys, I seem to remember someone saying " I wonder what an Xpower would look like with 20s". I did actually suggest to my Wife when I bought the car back in April that it should either be lower or be on 20 inch wheels. Well it wasn't cheap and not without hassle, but I think most would agree...
