New wheels

[Alex'n'Ane]

After collecting these at the national, I have given them a couple of coats of black hammerite, fitted some nice new 175 65 R14's on the rears, and some second hand 165 70 R14's on the front. (being a poor student, and these were lying around spare) I used the tyre fitting and balancing equipment at the raceteam I am volunteering at over the summer, very satisfying fitting them yourself.


Before photos.


Looking nice and wide, 5J compared to original 3.5J. (Even slightly wider than van rims at 4.5J ) 175 v's 155.

Bit close to the top trunnion, but not rubbing on this or the tre. Only suitable for marina front discs as they have a 10mm greater offset.

New wheels fitted.

After photo!
Next step will be to hopefully lower the car a spline on the front, and 1.5" blocks on the back as she's sitting a bit high, and possibly some plain hub caps too (When funds eventually allow..)

Looks good. Are the wheels banded Minor wheels, or are they specially manufactured?

Wheels look great, better than minilites. Low n slow the only way

Specially manufactured Minor centres in mgb hoops!
