I am debateing on my wheel style. Could you guys post a pic or put a link of your favorite wheels on a MGB? Spacing and offset would be great if you have them.
Thank you
Dave
This one looks rather nice...

American Racing 427P... 15x7, 3.5" backspace, 205/55/15 front; 15x8, 4.5" backspace, 225/50/15 rear. Front suspension is 2" wider than stock; rear is about 4" wider & I'm running thin spacers in the back -- but I also widened the omni flares per below. Project is in process so i don't have any good pics but these should give you an idea...

Bruce - Um....I recognize the rollbar in the picture gallery from 2006, but the rest of the car has changed just a bit...
PLEASE update - your car looks awesome!
Rob - I think those A.R. wheels are going to catch on. They have a vintage look that looks great on the mg - the Schill's new silver roadster looks great wrapped in those!
There are a few sources Tony -- they're all similar but there are differences. Mine (& the ones from Wheel Vintiques & some others) are deeper dish & available in various backspaces & finishes. Paul used later model Mustang wheels. Very similar, but not as deep a dish to them -- more positive offset. They're all variations of the Mustang Eleanor wheels from the original Fast & the Furious movie.

I've had these since 1990. American Racing hasn't made them for a long time.

Thanks Tony
I am planing on updating the pictures and information in the picture gallery fairly soon.
A big thanks goes out to Rob Ficalora. He located and shipped me the Omni Flares.

Heres mine, American Racing P200s. I always did like "coke bottle" mags!

Carl, your front wheel looks like is bend.
17x7 American Racing, I don't think they are a stock item any longer though. Running 5/120 stud pattern. Tyres are 215/45 and 225/45 Toyo R888 semi slick.

Carl, I have a set like those but made by Enkei. Just reminded me I need to get the tires removed so I can sell off the rims. I have a set of Datsun's and an aftermarket set by Rage made for a Honda Accord.
Say, Bill Jacobson -- What size wheels and tires are you running?
Has anyone thought about the classic Torque Thrust wheel from American Racing or Vintage Wheel Works?
http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/products/wheels. I like the V40 with the sharp edges over the D shape.

Wheels are 14 x 7 off set is 0. Tires are Michelin Pilots P215/60 14, the set-up does require fender flairs.
Bill
I'm running 16x7J Superlites. Tires are 205/16 z50 Goodyears. Axle is Dana 44 with 51.5" mounting flange to mounting flange width. Wheels are machined to +30mm offset. This leaves about 3/8" inside (bump stop was shaved) and about 5/16" outside (wheel arch flange has not been rolled) I could probably fit 215's in now that I have added a Panhard rod.
