Hey Gang,

Looking for wheels like this for the MGB project:




Anyone have an idea where to look?

Thanks,

Sure, 949 Racing! Just need to change over to 4x100 mm bolt patern.
Can be done. Or you can find something else in teh 4x114 standard. Oh but you knew that right.

If you find a wheel like the 949 please let us know. Like those plus they are super light.

A quick reference for a lot of different brands and styles is available on the Tire Rack web site. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/wheel-brands.jsp  Tons of options for you to choose from. Not all would be available in the MGB pattern, but you might luck out.

Been down that trail many, many hours.....

Try carid.com under custom wheels

Thanks guys. My boss has these on his miata that he autocrosses and I love the look. If I can't get something to fit the MG pattern maybe I'll go ninja and put the rearend from the Miata in the MG and change out the front hubs. Anybody ever do that?

Cheers,
NCtim

I was also thinking on using the rear end of an early Miata. They are easy to find and cheap. With is about 4 inches wider I believe. You can cut the frame or go with the wider look. Don't know how it would affect the road handling.

I went to the carid.com web site and found lots of wheels I liked but the site doesn't list MG.  What car is the same as MG?

Try 1990 Honda Accord for 4x114.3 mm and around 35-38mm offset in 15x7" wheels.

Nissan Sentra has the same pattern as thde MGB also.

Thanks guys, that makes it a lot eaiser to track down.

Datsun, ford mustang and maverick were 4x4.5 pattern, but you can get wheel adaptors to any bolt pattern, which may ba a pia
but, you can get good deals on wheels that approximate what you're looking for!

This wheel is the most essential things for all vehicles of the world.I use this wheel to my car and it is most comfortable for use and strongest also.So for that I choice it very much.Look it's glummer ---so nice to look also.What should I need to her.The car is my girl friend.I love her so much.

Glummer? I don't know if I'd go that far!

I just checked with Konig and they said they manufacture their Rewind wheel, which is the same as a mini light, but with a 0mm offset.  They say it's exactly what I need, but I don't see how I can make that work.  Wished I could, they're only about $115 each.  I'll keep looking!

Paul,

If that is the style you want (rewind), Rota makes a version too that is avail in all kinds of offsets in 4x114.3.
Search Rota RB.

Here's a web site with a large data base of wheel bolt pattern cross references. The link I've attached goes directly to the 4 X 4.5 data base.

Paul,

Zero offset only works if you are flaring the wheel wells.

That was my conclusion also Carl.  I'm thinking of having it repainted and probably won't order the new tires and wheels until then so I'll have time to think over my selection.  I don't have any room in my garage to store them anyway.
