ALLOY WHEELS now fitted.( photo)

[samuria]

thinking of getting some alloy wheels...
any one recommend a good trader?

should i stick with 14" ?
what about 13"... is there a lot of
difference in handling etc?
your thoughts please....
thanks

[charlie_morris_minor]

stick with 14" wheels they look so much better than 13" wheels.

jlh would be my first port of call if you do not want to go down the minilite route, assuming that you still have the std moggy pcd.

[bmcecosse]

I agree with JLH - ask Jono for a 'deal' - but I would go for 15" wheels - and certainly NOT 13 " ...

[samuria]

still have minor pcd.
roy...
do the 15" have any issues with wheel arches etc

[chrisryder]

JLH do 15 inch minilite style wheels, in 4 inch PCD, and a direct fit. Speak to him, he'll tell you all you need to know.

my nice new wheels.....[frame][/frame]

[chrisryder]

Very nice!

What size are the tyres? And do they fit within the wings fine?

Are you just on drums on the front? Or changed to discs? (Discs space the wheels out a bit)

looks lovely

still on drums...
tyres are 195/50/15.. fit in the wings perfect

[chrisryder]

Cool. I'm getting some of those wheels soon. Good to hear they fit the back with 195's, but may have to go narrower on the front to keep them inside the wings, as i've got discs up front!

The wheels look too big to me - but that may be because the rubber is low profile.

I would think some slightly higher profile tyres (e.g. 195/60/15) would look a bit more "right" - if you know what I mean?

thats what was fitted in the deal. i see your reasoning
maybe get some 60's when these wear out.... in a few year.s

[irmscher]

Whats next Les a power bulge on the bonnet

[bmcecosse]

Too low profile - and too much 'air' around the arch because of that. Hope you have nice smooth roads down your way! these wouldn't last long up here.......

[samuria]

roy we have tarmac down here....
the cobbled roads were done years ago

[Matt]

I will put some alloys with 195/60/15s on my trav at some point and take a pic...

[irmscher]

Les you still talk with a dodgy accent though and there are no hills

yes.... but with no hills it's easy to push moggy's
when they conk out

[chrisryder]

Well I think they look spot on. And are supposedly the best size most equal to standard for gearing's sake.

The arch gap would be remedied by a mild lowering ;) at the front certainly.
