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.

    I've replaced my wheels with something a bit flashier. Before I post on eBay, they are available as a job lot. Collection from Dorset or can courier I guess. I'll wash them (not that they are very dirty) and I can't see any scratches or other cosmetic damage. Original wheel bolts included...

    Star wheels

    I've just ordered and am collecting the MG 5 on 1st September, so I get a 7 on the reg instead of a 2, not really bothered but thought I might as well wait a week for it for resale time. Just wondering how much people are spending on the upgrade wheels? £189 each was listed somewhere but I've...

    Clicking sound from the wheels?

    Has anyone else experienced a clicking sound coming from the wheels, only audible with the windows down? Seems to happen to mine every now and then when I have recently changed regen level. Changing regen level again makes the sound stop, until changing regen level again... But it's...

    Nice Wheels

    Has anyone cleaned their MG5 wheels, yet? I do like the look of the wheels but they are a bit of a challenge to clean. Also, after less than 2000miles I have found that brake dust has built up on the inaccessible inner part of the "spokes" and doesn't come off easily. I can envisage the alloys...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    Hi all! I was bored over lockdown and did some photoshopping. I felt the 5’s skinny 16” wheels spoil the look a bit (along with the colossal right height), so stuck some alternative wheels on the configurator image. They are not very accurate, I tried to approximate 18” wheels, but used the...

    Got the new wheels on!

    So, I finally got the new wheel set on the car. Need to get some better, scenic, pictures done soon. They're an Audi fitment. 18"x 8J. the offset is 40. Running 245/40/R18 tyres. These are less than 1% bigger in diameter than the originals, so the speedo is still very accurate. They fit...

    MG ZS EV Winter steel wheels and tyres

    Has anybody fitted winter tyres and wheels to a MGZS EV. I currently own a 2 wheel drive Skoda Yeti and have a set of winter tyres and steel wheels as I live in a rural area some distance from main roads. I doubt if the steel wheels I have will fit the MG but has anybody fitted winter steel...
