MGB Stock Alloy Wheels from Other Cars That Fit 4 114.3 and 14" with correct offset?

I've been poking around trying to find a car make that has relatively attractive alloy wheels that would fit my '66, since the existing steel wheels are tragically bent and having them straightened would be cost-prohibitive. I figure it would be easier to just ask if anyone has found a set that works--either by trial and error, or by better research than I'm able to do. Can anyone recommend a set of used alloys in the proper size?


P.S. Not to offend anyone, but I don't care to be lectured on why only the originals are appropriate, or why Rostyles are what I'm really after. I hope that's OK.

Saab had a Minilite alloy on some of their production cars years ago. One of our apparently M.I.A. forum members had a set fitted to his MGB. Nunyas by forum name. Might try a search.

SAABs are front wheel drive - wouldn't the offset be wrong?

They look good, but they're 15s. Mine has 14s, and I have already bought tires so I'm looking for 14s.

Be sure to watch the size of the center hole. If the Supra wheel has a 60.1 mm center hole, it may be a problem. I don't recall the size required for the MGB but I believe it's larger than that....
