Retro Looking Wire Wheels

garyiryna · 26th April 2021, 22:21

Doubt if it can be done, but can I buy new wire spoke looking wheels, similar to the Jaguar ? or is my only choice ZT wheels ?

I am very much for original factory-fit equipment, especially wheels, but I really like the look of that (German?) green 75 with wire wheels. However, in the past I have owned two Morgans, one with steel wheels and one with wires and although the wires look good, they took more time to maintain (broken spokes, etc) and clean (using a special brush), the performance of the car was not so good and the fuel consumption suffered.

So you Recommend the ZT Wheels
I have 15" but would be nice having the 18" ZT wheels. they have similar to spoke, but exactly spoke. 18" RS suitable for Lexus, CT200H, MG ZT, Rover 75, MG& etcsuitable for

18" wheels on a 75 will destroy the ride comfort, they find every road imperfection and send it crashing up through you back!

I do like the look of chrome wire wheels, but have a feeling that they would cost more than the value of the car !

I've drooled over that photo on many occasions over the years. They really suit the retro lines of the '75 to my mind, particular with the colour of that particular car. Stunning!!

As close as I'll ever get. At least it's cheaper than buying new wheels I suppose
