Okay, time to delve into the R-R fountain of knowledge. I want some new wheels for the Marina GT - to recap, I fitted an MGB rear axle and 10cwt van front hubs so the PCD is 114mm. I'm looking for some smart retro alloys of 13/14" 5J to 6J that will fill the arches - at the mo I have MGB rostyles which are OK, but fuggin heavy and sit too far under the arches, ie:  Any ideas? |

4x114.3 pcd opens up a whole world of J-tin wheels. Datsun/Toyota/Mitsubishi... (i think) Like these belonging to Mr Hirst  Edit for photoshop;  |

Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

Here's my favourite, even though it my own wheel. It's on a Mk1 Celica. Revolution 5 spokes in 4x114.3mm. This one is 15x7 but I've seen them in 14x7 too. A favourite on the old Manta 400, but wider of course. Al  |

What do you think to these?  Correct pcd, 14"x6", bit different to usual MG or Triumph alloys. |

Says they are 100+ ones, was tempted but only car it will fit they wont suit. pretty good deal
|

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

If ever there was a pointless thing, those billet rostyles are it! Matt, those wheels on Bernies 323 GT aren't original I don't think. They are 100+ and were probably dealer supplied. Shame they are not that atractive as they are unbelieveably light. If you're interested for your 323 they might be going spare soon. Marinanut... these any good? Either 5 or 5.5x13, I can't remember which.  |
