Had to nip to Staffordshire but took a snap before I left, I reckon they look pretty good to be honest, I inversted in 4 sets of NOS MGF wheel nuts as well! They came with 2 (nearly new)x Avon ZV5's on the Front and a pair of nearly new Continentals on the back, I bought a set of "Triumph" 50mm wheel centre stickers from a good Decal supplier online

To be honest they do look great and I would not mind a pair myself. Strange how recently I have been thinking of putting a pair of mgf wheels on myself and now I am seeing loads of posts about changing the original wheels, spaces needed or not needed and such like. I think I am getting a message down the tracing lol.

Very aggressive looking for a TR7, something I would put on a AWD SUV or a Jeep or Hummer. Although the TR7 is often seen as a "modern" design I don't see it that way as "modern" cars look more like jelly beans than door stops and as such most modern looking alloys seem a bit out of line, and a fine line it is.

very nice rims , they look as though they were made to a TR7(V8!)

Probably the part I like most about the wheels is how the triangular effect of the mag spokes keep with the "wedge" theme. Perfect fit !!!

<font color="teal"><b>I have always thought the V shape looked the same angle as the front nose cone from the side.

This is the only Tr7 i have seen with the same wheels as me, since i put mine on 4 years ago.

very hard to find these wheels jn good condition, i was lucky, an e-bay find 4 brand new in box for £80....[:D]</b></font id="teal">

My Son came up with an apposite comment...apart from the:
"And when are you getting me put on the Insurance" one.
He said that they didn't look like after-market wheels from another car or accessory company he reckoned that they looked like a genuine Factory style that might have been fitted by the factory
I agree I think it just well suits the angles and curves on the TR7 very well indeed.
Just to get the details rears were £90 delivered and the fronts £120 delivred (inc tyres)
