ZT Wheel Sizes

RichB · 9th November 2010, 10:31

Did the alloy wheels on ZT's come in 17" and 18"? I've seen straights and 11 spokes on ebay recently and both sellers are adamant they are 17". I wasn't aware they existed???

Cheers,

Some wheel designs were fitted to the ZR / ZS - i.e. for the ZR you can get 16" hairpins.

They are 4-stud so thats the easy way to spot them...

The only MG 17" wheel was the "Mirage", chunky 5 spoke... everything else was 18".

There are two 17" wheels as the 120 had a different wheel after the facelift. Pre-facelift had much thinner spokes.

However many eBay sellers advertise wheels as fitting ZR/ZS/ZT because they have a ZR and they just assume they will fit the ZT. I reckon anything that lists all three won't fit a ZT. And as above, if it hasn't got five spokes (Straights, Hairpins or Grid) and it is not 18" then they won't fit.

There was also a ZT 17", similar to Straights style, which I think was only sold in Europe. Can be seen on the Partex Wheels Ebay listings.

These were the straights I was talking about...

And these were the 11 spokes...

I cannot see the stud pattern on the Straights but the 11-spokes are definitely ZT wheels - 5 nuts.

I think it is possible that they are 18 inch wheels that have been described incorrectly.
