MGB Wheels 7x15

[Aidan Gribbin]

Hello Out There! I am just about to start the Sebring conversion of my B. I have not had much luck finding any wheels that arn't going to break the bank. I found a company that will do a set of 8x15 with 195/205 tyres for £600. I think these will be too wide having looked at other cars on line. I'm not fussed about the all singing dancing lightweight ones as I'm not going to be racing..... mainly posing in Le Mans again!

Anyone got the name of a company where I can get some at a reasonble price?
Cheers
Aidan

You should get away with 8" rims, if you do the wheel arches right.

You will need 225 tyres on 8" rims though.

I have 6x15" wires on my Sebring Replica, I want some 8x15" knock-on Minilites, but thats £2000+.....

I run 8x15's on mine with 225/60 tyre's and have had no problems with clearance at all but it does have modified rear suspension.

and I'm looking for some 6x15 wire's for mine!

I have a set, but I'm not sure your 8x15's fit...

and to answer the original question, Superlite do a 7x15" for £100 or 8x15" for £110 per wheel, they have a good reputation.

beware of cheap, imitation, 'minilite' replica's, they are often warped or mis-shapen
