Only the Minilites (and the replica ones) are available in 14" size "off the shelf". However, if you PM Jonathon he has some different ones made specially. There are some on ebay at the moment but no guarantees that they are the correct PCD. You have to make sure they are 4" (101.6mm) and not 100mm of which there are a lot about.

Last car to use 4" pcd was the Mini - and at the end it had nice wide 13" wheels. But they are deeply dished -and not very suitable for Minor etc - although with thick enough spacers it's probably 'possible' - but not wise. I don't know if any of the Mini specialists have made 14" wheels - there are some Minis on 14" - but i suspect specially made.

So will everyone! Hence - prices are held up quite nicely. Perfect example of Supply and Demand operating! Just look at the 4.5" steel wheels - what they fetch!
