Hi all,the wheels on my `52 are not in the best of condition.Is it possible to fit others without changing the original brake drums etc? Are any alloys available?
Thanks,John.

Lots of options,
About the cheapest are rostyles
No modification and a cool look

I paid 150 for this set with great tyres, chrome nuts and chrome finishing rings

Hi Guys
A question re the Rostyle wheels - what is the mounting stud diameter and what is the PCD of the studs/bolts.
Cheers Bob

Mg midget rostyles are Exactly the same as the minor
4 inch and the same clearance hole as in the existing minor wheels for bolts.

Straight swap but you need correct nuts available from many sources.

The Midget Rostyle wheels are of course NOT a straight swap on a Minor "MM" however which has a different wheel fitting and PCD :wink:

Quite right and as the OP's car is a 52 then I must take back the statement that they will fit.

However, as its a 100mm PCD then this drastically opens up the options for jap alloys.

The MG midget rostyles fit minors with 4 inch PCD apologies for the confusion.

Series MM, early Series II wheels have a 4.5 in PCD. Late Series II to M1000 have a 4 in PCD so they ae not interchangeable and I do not know of any 14 in, 4.5 in, 4 stud wheels which would fit the Series MM. If anyone does know then please tell me, especially if they have larger brake drums that will fit.

I know in my area a company who can make a custom wheel:

I think in the UK these company's are also available.
