The MGB will be sporting 1970's Rostyle steel rims for most of this year. The Slot Mags are being given a rest
It started out as a question of "what am I going to do with these spare 14" slicks?"
I went to 15" rims a good while back as nobody really does a 14" slick anymore. To be honest I forgot that I had them in the roof of the garage DOH!!
And last seasons 15's are almost down on the wear limit. So I looked at the spare 5" rostyles and the 9" slicks.... Then I found a guy who would band the steel rims out to match the slicks
It was £200 cheaper to make the wheels fit the slicks than buying a new pair of slicks
So I now have much wider steelies for the rear. They are away now being blasted and powder coated by a mate for £25
Now I'm looking to find some skinny tyres for the front. If I can i may as well get the fronts cut down to 4" or even 3.5" if I can find the tyres. At the moment the web search is only bringing up motorcycle tyres?
Anyway!
Here are the rears just after widening
