Definately get the 14" rims. Look on Bull Motif website - They usually do some good deals with tyres fitted and include wheel nuts if you are buying a full set.....

Go for 14" or even 15" - have a look at the JLH website. http://www.jlhmorrisminors.co.uk/store/ ... t&catId=20 Jon often has 'very good' /special deal prices on wheels & tyres - may even be thinking of having a pre-Christmas Sale ! Be sure to say we sent you!

It's up to you - not faster as such - but may fill the arches better with low profile tyres.

Not so long ago I got a set of 5.5x14 Minilite style from Midland Wheel Supplies (MWS) for a very good price. They included centre caps and wheel nuts. You will need 165 or wider tyres of course.


Try JLH first though. 8)
