Alloy 12
7x16inch, 6-spoke semi or pseudo official MG-Rover wheel.
This is a very special one as it is in some way an official MG Rover wheel although it wasn't available yet. Just before or even during the collapse of MG-Rover a new wheel was designed for the MGTF on the Swedish market. They never got on the cars, due to the collapse. They have just been found (April 2007), all brand new and still wrapped up and safely stored in a warehouse in Gothenburg (Sweden). The MGF register representative for the Scandinavian region was able to buy the whole lot (90 wheels) and they got distributed among the MGF/TF register members (direct link to the topic).
These wheels fit over the larger (red) AP brake callipers.

Weight: 9.0kg/wheel (excl. tyre)

As fitted on some cars seen at the MGCC Silverstone Event 2007

Alloy 13
7x16 and 7.5x16inch, official MG Motor UK wheel
Even more special than those above, as this is the wheel that is mounted on the TF 85th Anniversary LE.
Only 50 cars of this quiet unique model were build, and just the number of wheels needed for these cars were made and delivered to Longbridge.
They are called 'Twist of Pepper' and have a 'Liquid Boron' finish. Although the wheels have a 'turning direction', the same wheel is used at the left and righthand side. The width of the wheels is different between front and rear. This is to suit the uprated suspension of the LE85th.
