Alloy wheels

Hi, does anyone know if Triumph Stag alloys will fit the Tr7. There's quite a few cheap on flyaway at present.

Hi Gavin,

Plenty of MGF wheels out there, and as you know they fit ok but use the matching nuts. Get yourself up to Stoneliegh this weekend, there were loads of MGF / TF's there last year and look at your options.

I took these pictures last year of some of the possibility's -














































Cheers John

I must admit most of these look great and I would love to have these on my car. I am looking on fleabay at the minute and they looks like they are going for around a ton, so not too bad

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I want some alloys that will look sort of period, but not over the top. That's why I was looking at the Stag wheels. I still rt of like the Mg wheels similar to minimlises.

Not a fan of new style alloys (although the black ones aren't too bad) just like I don't like the new style techno dashes but prefer the dashes of the early 90's. I like original alloys best or my early 90's era Integra alloys (I got off a California Ingtegra). Guess I'm just a 90's, 80's, 70's kind of guy.

To show you what I mean by the Integra alloy design. I've seen these on a none Accura with different (non Accura) centres

I'm liking the deeper dish look, like the banded steelies, and the competitive 5 spokes. I think they suit to period, especially if staying with 13-14" rims. I also like the look of the original alloys with the polished rim. Being a tight ar53d northerner, I don't want to spend too much. Thanks again.

Hi gavinj4

Yes you could use them it is the same PCD 4x3 3/4", or 4x95.25 in metric.

But the Offset is about 35mm so you lose 10 mm .. I would not go for these .. MGF are good about same Offset like TR7: 1 " = 25mm : the smaller the offset, rims come out the more (wider track) so look for the MG -- there are some Caterham with Offset 0 but these will not fit under the Fender ..

But remember, if the rim is wider at the same offset is wider on both sides

PCD 4x3 3/4", or 4x95.25 in metric MG, F, Maestro Montego, Mini Metro, Dolomite, TR7, Spitfire (but thinner Studs) Lotus Elise S1, Caterham older (newer are 108mm= Ford)
You can use something like these:
