ok i've now got some mgf wheels for the FHC but what nuts do i need as they didn't come with any

will the MGF wheel nuts fit or are they a different thread etc

and whilst on the subject can you get plain centre caps to replace the MG ones

I got a set of these [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-TR7-Wheel-nuts-with-logo-x-16_W0QQitemZ320338149097QQihZ011QQcategoryZ72257QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]Nuts[/url]

As for center caps i contacted a seller like this person on e-bay

( it might have been this person i cant remember )

And sent him a photo of the Triumph sign and he made me a set

Which just stuck over the MG badge you cant tell

If it's not broke don't fix it.

I bought a set of nuts from the same guy and they work fine with my Allycats.

Now that really looks the Dogs! As they say. It really works well.

Where is the best place to bug these MGF wheels?

Cheers

no other than ebay although the breakers yard is also an option. beware to find a good set though repairs to the rim can cost Â£25 a wheel.

these were excellent except for the lose centre cap [:D] and i will need to replace the rear tyres in a 1000 miles but the front are hardly worn which is good as the cheapest tyre is around Â£60
