Marina Wheels (Hubs etc) AGAIN

I have been trawling the interent looking for alternative wheels for my traveller (fitted with Marina hubs so a 3.75" pcd). Mainly because i think Marina wheels look pants. After reading all the threads i can find on here and lost of sites (some conflicting information out there!) have found that the cars that share the same PCD are Triumph spitfire, herals, tr7&8 and the Austin Montego and maestro. Some of the threads on here talk about centre bore size. Does this matter with marina hubs? if so does anybody know what this is? The other thing that seems to crop up is offset. The marina and TR7&8 appear to share a +0.5" offset but the TRs appear to be fitted with 195 tyres.
Summary version:
Does anybody know what the spec of marina wheels is so i can find suitable replacements.

Thanks (Sorry if this has already been covered)

I was seeing if i could find out what the alloys (assuming they were alloys) that were on Mirium (LoveJoy's Minor) I believe they are wolfrace of some description, google has lots of information, shame 99% of is is useless

OK, after a long chat with ESM I have decided to get them to make me a custom set of minilites 5.5x15. Does anybody have an idea of what sencible tyres to fit to these would be? I need my speedometer re-calibrated anyway so the final size doesnt matter that much.

165 or 175 should be fine.

I read that and my brain melted :wink: Because of what i want to end up with i have put this on hold until i have spoken with JLH about the cost of getting a k series fitted and the other bits that will need doing to prevent me killing myself when i come across a corner.
Thanks for the help
