I've decided to go back to steel wheels for a while. Mainly because I wanted to see how Rostyles would look on the car. When i find a good 4" front tyre I'm sending the rims off to be narrowed. In the meantime I'll be bead blasting and powder coating the rears which arrived today. I had 3" added to get the slicks fitted.

Awsome look for the stock wheel!         Put 4 of them this wide on a B!

Silver Sparkle powder coat finished and slicks now on the rims. Just waiting for my new chrome centre caps with MG logo :)
I wonder if I could carefully change the MT logo on the tyres in to MG with tyre paint ??

Not sure on changing the MT to MG but those wheels look superb!

Thanks Guys!!

I'm really happy with them, I have had friends saying they might look better if I had chrome power coat added to the spokes??

I'm on the fence right now. Some folk are saying paint the hub sections black like the original paint pattern?

If it decides to stop snowing here I can get them fitted and see how they look on the car :)

I am trying to find some 4" or 3.5" front tyres now without success. I was hoping to have the front Rostyles narrowed to enhance the funny car look. But all I can find at the moment for 14" rims is motorcycle tyres.

All trimmed and ready for fitting :)

I just bought some 125r15 front runners from Coker, I see they have them in 145r14 as well. Im sure the speed rating is a joke but they might fit the bill for some narrow 14" front runners for the street. Here's a link........
