Allegros share their 4x4.5" PCD with the BL 1100 & 1300, Princess/Ambassador/Maxi/MGB/Triumph 2000/Reliant Scimitar and a lot of J-tin (Nissan/Mitsubishi etc). Weird wheel offset on Allegros though, meaning you'd have to be careful with arch clearance, not to mention upsetting the handling. The Allegro Equipe came with alloys as standard (made by Exacton), you occasionally come across a set for sale. Pretty rare though. I've seen '70s Cosmics on Maxis in the past, they'd really suit the Allegro IMHO. Good guide here: www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html |

As already identified 4x114.3 but requires pretty heavy inset to match O/E offset. How abouts Suzuki Swift (MK1) wheels. Not too sure about centre-bore so that might need modding.
If you were happy to go 14" how abouts some O/E MGB Rostyles??? might just sneek those on

 Ambasodor 14in Alloys (blue one) and Ambasodor 14in steels (snadglow one). Wheel bearing frendly offset.  5.5x13 Minilights of some sort. Not much chance of finding any of these tho, appart from in my shed.  No details sorry, but I think they suit it well for a modern wheel.  Another example of the Ambasodor wheel. Stance win. |
