Hi,

would anyone happen to have or point me to, a picture of a black rover 75 with MG grid spokes?

would save the wife a great deal of car chat

id think theyd look pretty similar to on a ZT - they would look pretty good IMO

My dilemma:

Someone here in holland is selling 4x apex including new wintertires for 430 pounds.

Someone in UK can sell me 4x grid spokes with thires (a little more worn) for 250 tires including delivery (to oxford where I will pick them up in few weeks time)

Not that the money difference will decide, but I think theres no reason to turn dont the grid offer. What do you guys think?

apex alloys are referred to as the best,most popular or whatever term you want to use,they are not expensive at the price you mention,but of course the must be in good condition free from corrosion and kerb marks.

you mention winter tyres,what make and condition are they in.

Grid spoke alloys do suit the 75/ZT shape, sure Stocktakes 75 had them on and my new ZT does

Will post up a picture tommorow as i had them shot blasted and powder coated last week.

if stocktake sees the thread hopefully he will post a picture of the gridspokes that were fitted to his wedgwood blue.

i have it under authority that the car is now fitted with straights..

hm.. its hard to see. I think the Grid with the deep black makes a big statement. Are there photos flying around of a black mg/r75 with the apex alloys at all?
