Wire wheels

Post by foghorn14 »

I have the opportunity to get a shot MGB with wire wheels cheap. First, will the wire hubs and wheels fit on the Morris Minor? (If not won't a Midget's work?) Second, in your opinion do wires look good on the Moggy? I'm just not sure.

Is it me, or do the wire wheels make the car look a little bit longer? :wink:

These wire wheels look absolutely HORRIBLE ! I don't like them on MGBs either - and the MGB ones certainly will NOT fit on a Minor. Leave wire wheels where they belong - MG TC s etc !! They look great there!

Thank you for the pictures to evaluate. I agree, I don't like the look.

Minilites look better, especially on a Traveller

Or on a B...

My last B had wires and they were the main reason for getting rid of it.
