| Refurbishing
the Dunlop composite wheels on an MGBGTV8 is a job a relatively few specialists
can undertake. Motor Wheel Service International based at Langley east of Slough
offer a refurbishment service. They will disassemble the wheel splitting the steel
rim from the alloy centre, examine the rim to assess its condition, re-chrome
the rim and then reassemble the wheel with new rivets. Depending on the |
state
of the rims there may be additional work but in most cases they can achieve an
airtight seal on reassembly. They provide a free reporting service on the wheels
at the outset to enable the customer to consider the options. It's specialist
work and the typical cost of refurbishing a wheel is £345 plus VAT
and freight. So maintaining your wheels is essential.

the maintenance tips from MWS |  | The
Dunlop composite wheels have a distinctive cast alloy centre fitted to a chromed
steel rim and remained unchanged throughout production of the MGBGTV8 model at
the MG Plant at Abingdon. They were a compromise between a steel |
|
and alloy wheel, providing a more robust rim than alloy but with a slight weight
penalty. Great care is needed to avoid serious rust setting in on the rims, so
regular cleaning and maintenance is vital. Refurbishment is possible by a very
few specialists, but is expensive. Occasionally a set of these wheels comes up
for sale on the V8 website. V8 spares for sale |
