Well I've got a dodgy mate...... Nah! :d

You will be able to get them from Rover but they will be expensive!!!

I don't think you'll find any 2nd hand, so you could find a set of aftermarket wheels, that are very similar. There are quite a few similar designs available.

Thanks for the info guys.

Do mg-rover have an accessories/parts web site or anything, or do i have to go to the local mg-rover dealer.

Garages
17" wheels as found on the ZEDS are £128+VAT each

I might be able to do a slightly better price

£250 seems a bit steep and i wonder if that includes vat ?

Thxs again for the help

Garages
If they're straight/not stolen and not kerbed then that's a good price IMO
