NotesWing 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.
