Stag wheels vs LE alloys
Discussion
Help needed!
I recently bought a set of straight solid alloys, thinking they were LE ones. Having seen the price of nuts and caps I have now fitted Rostyles again, and put the alloys on eBay. They were getting a lot of interest and I thought I had better check them more closely, when I realised that LE ones are 5J, mine are 5.5J. I also realised the hubs aren't so proud as LE ones.
Question is/are, could they be made to fit MGB with spacers on the rear, would LE nuts fit, and are they worth any more or less as Stag alloys? I have seen several sellers selling them at £30 a corner in straight unpolished condition, which is how mine are. I also saw a scabby set of LE alloys fetch £51 on eBay this weekend.
I thought I would go Rostyle as the LE ones looked a little skinny, but if mine are 5.5 and the rear were spaced out by 5-10mm they might look more appealing?
I have pulled the auction for now as I am not certain what I am selling!
By the way, my scimitar composites are on eBay at the moment.......
Oh and another thing, how hard is it to change an early rubber dash for a late one? I have one from a job lot, complete except for time clock, and behind honest I prefer it to the one I have, and changing for pre 74 sounds like a not easy task....
