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!

Only a personal choice but I won't put anything bigger that 17's on my 75's & 18's on my ZT's & ZT-T.
