MG Midget and Sprite Technical - wire wheels

will MGB wire wheels fit on a midget? Are the hubs the same?
TCW Tom Westcot

have a look in the Archives if you don't get an answer

I don't know for sure but I'd guess not and think possibly that was the answer but I've got a poor memory on such things

Thanks,
I already talked to Dayton Wire wheels and they will fit Midget hubs to 14" MGB rims on order. The problem I had and still have (even with the 14's) is tire availability.
If you're not running 17's or bigger nobody wants to talk to you. Who is making 13 & 14 inch tires these days?

By the way Nigel, my last MG was a '74 purchased new. It was damask red with wires. Sadly I totaled it in '77.

I've no idea what it's like over there but there are loads of 13" tyres and even more 14" over here (and 15" and 16")

perhaps you could ask on the B forum and wait for more fellow USA posters to arrive to get more accurate local info to you

sorry I missed your last post

I think Damask looks a lot better on Bs, I had a B that was Carmine just slightly lighter
