I have a few sets of the Performance Challenger alloy wheels, you'll recognize the design as it is very much like the MGB Limited Edition wheels, they are 13x5.5 in the Spridget 4x4" bolt pattern. I've got them on sale for 135.00 a wheel, so if you're looking for something a bit diffrent than the normal offerings, this may be the wheel for you. Center caps, lug nuts and valve stems are included.

Hap, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of a Spridget with these rims on would you? I love them and was looking at a Stag yesterday that had them but I can't visualize them. thanks

JP, I sure don't, but you could be the trail blazer :smile: I've always thought it was good looking wheel, and unique look for a Spridget.

I'm terrible at this but, squint a little.


color corrected on the spokes (where you'd see through 'em)

I think they are much better looking than the Rostyles, probably because they have real spokes instead of being solid.

Wow, those look really good on the red car but they look good on JPs car also. I knew someone here could do the picture magic.

I think they look too modern. But then I have old eyes.

I think they would look good on the rubber bumper cars (tie the black color together). They'd also look good on de-bumpered cars that have more of a racy look.

Well one thing about it, everyone is always wanting an original look, well we're now manufactuering our own wheels (VTO) and just clearing out the Performance/Superlite product, so you'll have one of the few sets imported into the US. I like the wheel myself, and think it looks good in the photochops and it has strong MG factory ties as it is the same design as used on the later MGB Limited Editions.

Jack I'm with ya. I like them, but not on my car...even though it's as late as you can get.

Reminds me of ET Kelstars. If it was 1983 or I had a B, I'd be all over them. (o.k, I know it's the wrong pattern)


I wonder what they would look like on a orange RB car with the black along the bottom?
