Does anyone know if the 16" wheels found on a MG ZR fit the MGF?

Ok, I'm sorry to bring bad news but the wheels from a ZR/ZS will NOT fit on the MGF... The wheels you are looking at might look the same as the 75th Anniversary ones but they are actually a different PCD (that's the diameter of the studs). The only wheels you can share with an MGF, other than other MGF/TF wheels are those off a Maestro/Montego!

So, you have two options... Either source a full set of MGF 75th Anniversary hairpins (that's the only model they were fitted to) which tend to be quite rare and fetch good money because of it, or get the ZR/ZS ones and get the adaptors from Mike Satur. Obviously, the first option is the best as they were designed for the car. Good luck!!!!

Wait for it... £120 + VAT for the set... You can see them here. You could pick up another set of wheels for that!

Don't forget that it'll also alter the handling of the car as the wheels will be further apart by about 1" so it's probably best to keep looking for the genuine MGF ones.
