if they are montego i believe they are 3.75".. which are suitable for marina stud pattern.. i have already posted a photo of them in oe white in a different thread.. what is the make and profile of the tyre I think that will govern the price?

being alloy wheels.. you will also need to find the centre caps for them.. which might not be to easy. I do not know what the MG montego mestro offsets are, i purchased 1 space saver with tyre to test fit before buying the complete set.. do you know anyone that has an mg montego that you could borrow the wheels off for a few minutes?

ray do you have a photo of them on your car ( I assume )

30 each + postage seems a good price for a new alloy.. it will cost you a at least as much to get them reconditioned even if you get the wheels for free...

could you use photo shop to mock it up?

also don't forget that some montego&maestro wheels are metric.
tyres maybe expensive or impossible to get now.
