wheels
Hello, just wondering if there are any other wheels which fit a standard 68 morris minor? I like the deeper van type wheels, but these seem rare to come buy and command good money, so are there any other wider alternatives besides minlites? I have seen moggies with peugeot 205/309gti style wheels on them, would these cars have different hubs on them?

Re: wheels
Only recent car with 4" pcd wheels was the Mini. But the 13" wheels used on the last models are quite deeply dished, so that may be/is likely to be a problem. Earlier cars with 4" wheels were Spridgets/Viva/Imp. NO modern car wheels will fit. You must NOT try to use 100mm pcd wheels - they WILL bend the studs and they WILL snap, possibly losing you a wheel and the resultant accident may involve skidding into a line of kids on the way to skool.......... Not a great idea.
Edited to correct mistype - was 110 mm pcd.

Re: wheels
Thanks bmcecosse for the advise. Bit limited with choice then, prob why the wide van wheels are so common!

Re: wheels
My only comment on Rostyles are that as they are 13" and they original Morris wheels were 14" they don't completely "fill" the wheel arch. Perfectly acceptable though.
