Welcome to the forum - there are NO current production car wheels that fit a Minor, because of it's 4" PCD - there were some 4.5J wheels produced back in the day for the last of the vans which were uprated to 8cwt capacity. These wheels sell for > £50 each these days....... There may be some Wellers floating around that will fit - personally I hate the look of them (cheap/nasty) - but I guess it's like Marmite - love it or hate it!

Get yourself over to Retro Rides and look for a bloke called 'jamesp, everyone on the forum raves about the quality of his work, and he'll band a set of 14" wheels for about £180. If you want to see an example of his work, take a look at the MGBGT in this month's Retro Cars.
One more thing though, he injured his back a while ago and has quite a backlog of work, so you'll need to be a bit patient...

At that price - just get a decent set of alloys!
