clausskou Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I am looking into getting some new alloy wheels for my spitfire and have decided to go for a wide range which means hub adaptors. Can anyone direct me to some traders of such adaptors?Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 there was a guy on ebay selling them for MGF's, same pcd so should be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieB Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Don't do it!! Classic cars deserve classic wheels!!Each to their own I suppose ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clausskou Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Besides looking for the adaptors, I am also looking for Minilite looking wheels and ofcourse a good offer, because I do agree that classic looking wheels are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 If you want Minilite style wheels you don't need adaptors as this is one of the (very few) styles you can still buy new with the right PCD and offset.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clausskou Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Do you happen to know a cheap supplier? But besides these, there seems not to be such a great range of choices or am I mistaken?Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyfastcar and Carol Lamity Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Bear in mind they will push the wheels out a bit (lot) further, not a prob if you can specify your offset on wheels and compensate (or calculate 2nd hand wheels), but there ain't much room under there!

clausskou Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thanks. I will have a look at those suppliers. An adaptor would be a second choice, as compensating for the offset makes things more difficult to judge a wheel just by its specs.Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 MGF are minilight wheels, well, some are. 15" though, but cheap as chips and fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clausskou Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 The existing wheels are 13", but will 15" fit as suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
