Extra Information
Other comments	The BXW749 has been designed for MGF 1.8i and VVC (factory fitted with 6x15" alloy wheels). Models thereafter, including the special Limited Edition Abingdon LE, have been factory fitted with 16" alloy wheels. MWS has not tested or verified the BXW749 on models thereafter - a fitment check is recommended. Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear. Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted. We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
