Rover wheels

Post by Jefftav »

Hi all,

I have been on the lookout for some dcent 15in alloys from an MGF to fit the Marina PCD on my 2door saloon. I haven't found any so far but have unearthed a set of 15" alloys from a T Reg Rover 200 would anyone know if they would be the same PCD as the marina 3.75" I think and would they be OK on the Morris.

Cheers, Jeff

Only the MGF wheels are any good Jeff - because MGF was basically 2 Metro front subframes joined together! Just possible Montego alloy wheels may fit - but they are pretty ghastly!

As an MGF owner anyone wanting to fit Rover 200 (or MG ZR) wheels to their MGF has to fit wheel adapters so I would guess that the same adapter may be suitable for the Minor - but check first.

The second item down on this page has the info -

Thanks for the tips boys, it just seemed like a good opportunity when I woudn't need to pay for postage for once. I will keep an eye on the set on ebay but it concernes me when they say about scuffs/pitting as although they offer a warranty it's another £25.00 to send them back so it's not so easy.

Thanks again, Jeff
