wheels wheels wheels
good evening all! as I'm sure you're all very much aware the choice of wheels for our morris' are some what limited, without different running gear etc, my question is, what options do I have as opposed to the stock rims, I want something 14" ideally possibly bigger but not minilites but still with a classy look and a bit of dish, I would band mine which looks great but it's a good £400 before paint and rubber! anyone have any suggestions?
Re: wheels wheels wheels
The answer is the late van wheels - 4.5 J X 14 .. hard to find though... And they are the correct width for the 155 X 80 X 14 tyres...

Re: wheels wheels wheels
If I was wanting to change the wheels on my minors, I would also go with the van wheels. Here's new ones, if their a good quality finish they would be worth it.

Re: wheels wheels wheels
I bought a set of these wheels and within months they had erupted in rust - no primer and poor quality paint...beware!

Re: wheels wheels wheels
I you want wider 14" rims, I can heartily recommend Weller's offerings, they're 5.5J (I had 185/65's on mine). While not cheap, they are the 'real deal', very well made with good paint finish.
Re: wheels wheels wheels
There seem to have been a good few problems with the ESM wide wheels - not running true has been mentioned -as well as the poor paint......
