  • Alloy Wheels

    Recently I came across 3 13" MG Metro x-spoke alloys in the local scrapyard. As I have 13" steel wheels on my 1.6 Maestro, would these wheels be a straight swap for mine (assuming i can find the fourth wheel). Are tyres available with a wall thickness that would enable the speedo to read correctly.
    I have no PAS so would the steering become even heavier?

    if your going to swap 13 inch for 13 inch , the speedo reading will remain the same ,
    wider tyres as a rule makes the steering heavier at parking speeds.
    but saying that so will a soft tyre , good look finding your 4th wheel

      Metro wheels won't fit the Maestro/Montego I am sure...

        They wont fit, and they would look really silly too.
