Notes
This wheel has especially been designed for V6 models 2004 onwards.
Wing modifications are necessary to fit these wheels as there will be an overhang at the wheel arches.
This wheel has especially been designed for Roadster V6 models 2010 onwards. As a spare wheel, the XW459 is being used. About 30% of Roadster V6 are factory fitted with this wheel and is also offered as an option for Plus 4.
In 2012 the XW5949 black-painted wire wheel became standard fitment on the Morgan Roadsters, whereas the XW5777 is now an option for the +4 as well as the Roadster
