Looking for 5 wire wheels to fit my VW based MGTD Kit Car. Anyone know who carries them?

I found these used Zenith knock-off wire wheels for a 924 Porsche 4X112mm bolt pattern and had the knock-off hubs re-drilled for 4X130mm VW bolt pattern. Zenith is still in business making wire wheels I think.

Moss Motors, has a conversion for 4 lug. The spindle bolts on to the wheel pattern, then the wire wheel mounts on the spindle with a knock off nut.
Here are some rim sizes:
Austin Healy 3000, TR2-3 15x4
TR250 15x4.5
Morgan 15x5
TR6 15x5.5
Jaguar 16x5
You have a choice of 48, 60, and 72 spoke rims.
Dunlop has a complete kit for anywhere from 1200 to 3200 dollars. Check with Borani, they may have a better deal. I've seen used rims on Ebay for as low as 50 a piece. Happy hunting. |
