MGB wheel suggestions!

[KCuv]

starting my MGB project i need to pick out some wheels...im toying with modern looking wheels...or maybe some 2 piece old school looking wheels with a big lip...give me some ideas!

i think id prefer 16 rears 15 fronts less than 8" wide esp in front
offset between 0-+24ish

help! be reasonable with price

They're 4x114.3 so you could get some seriously cool old jap wheels. I rekon a set of these in the right sizes would be thebestintheworld.jpg though...

modern wheels look horrible on a MGB . . go for something "classic" . .

Gotti 150.

something along these lines??

Get ready to spend a lot if you want good wide multipiece 4x114.3 wheels (I am in the same boat, looking for 15x8-10 et0 through -10. Check out Club4ag for some good wheels, also some of the 240 sites have decent stuff.

BOL with the search and yeah I would stay with classic wheels.

upon a little further investigation, i found out the wheels that came with the car are very rare in the mg world...what do you think if the car is lowered + some spacers, can it look good with these or not worth the time cleaning them up?

this is not my car but same style wheel

Or get them widened? Another 2-3 inch lip on them would look good. Agree with Hayden on wire wheels though.

not a bad idea theyre SO NARROW. if i wanted to stretch a tire it'd be from a bicycle

[Anonymoose]

LOL ^ then you'd need some 100mm spacers

. . rare steel MG wheels? . . . . at least thy need widening . . but if they're really rare and wanted, maybe sell em to a purist and invest the money in somethin else . .

ya not too sure my first thought was throw them out and the guy i bought the car off when he heard me say that almost vomitted. maybe i should look for osme old nerd that likes the original stuff

thoughts on XXR 513? why so cheap? they look good. are they super heavy?

[Anonymoose]

They look like the dunlop racing ones/dishy ones so they might be rare. Still 6.5j iirc though.

OP, not sure how much you've looked into it but here are some readily available, cheap (in uk at least) fweels

- wolfrace slots


- scimitar gte/ dunlop v8


- more dunlop splits

I think these are your wheels but maybe banded, with a nice tyre choice

These are what I was talking about, they would look fucking amazing (but not in this offset)
