Aftermarket Wheels

[ajhayden93]

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?

You could just remove the trims, there are alloys under there (but they do look a bit "Ford Focus Mk1"). Note that the centre cap in the pic is not present, you'd have to buy some from ebay etc.

I did consider that. My Trophy is white with the black roof. I think a nice set of black alloys would go well with the rest of the black trim

Powdercoating the alloys black might work, but they are an incredibly basic design and I’m not sure.

MG4 Aftermarket Wheel Options

Hi guys I was curious to see how the MG4 would look with a larger set of aftermarket wheels. Been having a play, so thought I'd share these images in case they're of interest :) They're also in a Google Photos album (though can't seem to insert the link)

I have a set of these on order which should be here this week. I just have to sort out the coding for the TPMS and how that is done . They are 18 inch with a tyre pack and locking wheel nuts and black bolts if in stock on dispatch.

Will do .They cant look any worse than whats on now . Im glad they have aero covers to cover them up. I even find myself rushing to put the covers on after a clean so no one can see whats below.

Agreed they’re rank.
I thought powder coating them black might improve them and coincidentally someone posted a photo of their car with them done black today.
Yeah, I was wrong….

Looking forward to seeing those on! It's definitely one of the first changes I'm considering

I just called the company and the wheels are in from Germany and now having the tyres and TPMS fitted and programmed for the car . They are the programable Autel TPMS and according to the guy on the phone will work straight away. I wont hold my breath though.

Aw jeez….
I can’t remember which post.
I think it was a foreign based member, and I remember it was a dark colour car with the standard alloys in black.
The photo was at a funny angle too.
Perhaps it will ring a bell with someone else.

Wheels arrived today well packed however one of the spigets was damaged and they hadn't put the locking wheel nuts in the box I called this afternoon and they will be here tomorrow DPD. All being well Saturday fit. They are proper wheel porn. Ceramic coated and dressed ready

Well wheels all on with locking wheel nuts. I couldn't believe how tight the original bolts were. I could have blown on the wheel wrench so I would advise if you haven't checked yours please do.
Copper Grease on all the bolts took longer than fitting the wheels.wheel alignment pin essential. Anyway really pleased, up close they look black at a distance they turn bronze. TPMS all seemed good then 5 mile run amd the error came up. I called wheelbase alloys who I got the wheels off and after checks etc the valves in the old wheels need cloning. No bother though they are sending me their machine and I pay a 50 quid deposit which is refunded on return. They pay DPD cost delivery and collection can't ask for more than that. Great company to deal with nothing too much trouble. I will try and get some more pics later.
Tyres stick like glue but a tad more road noise. Comfort is the same as the old tyres.

And locking wheel bolts I guess once you expose the bolt heads ?

All finished now. I had the tpms Autel Ts508 delivered today and used to clone the original sensors. The tyres have to be deflated to 10 psi before scanning. If anyone decides to do the same scan the tyre above the valve not the valve as the alloy wheel interferes. Anyway after inflating 3 tyres after programming the valves my pump caught fire. . So the last wheel only had 34 psi in. Went for a spin and straight away the computer picked up this tyre was low and the other spot on
Basically all working welland monitoring like OEM sensors. If anyone needs any help feel free to make contact.
