MGB A new alloy wheel choice for MGBs

[Hap Waldrop]

I just became a dealer for these, the GC360 Silverstone IIs, they come in a shiney silver center with a polished outer rim, and in a stain charcoal grey with a matte finished outer rim. They come in 15x6 +24mm offset for the MGB.

That dull grey is exactly what I was hoping for on the other wheels (Retro 4?)you carry for the Spitfire. Hint hint.

 

[Hap Waldrop]

No this comnpany only does 15x6 in +24mm for the Bs and classic Zs, and +3mm for TR4 and TR6.

Bill, you can alway dull the Retro 4s up yourself, all it would take is a piece of scotchbrite

Those (second version) are almost a dead ringer for the original American Racing mags used on a lot of 60s sports cars, down to the polished rim and charcoal centres. Very period look and I think they should be popular. If I were in the market (I'm not - everything I have is spline or peg drive) those would definitely be my choice.

 

[Hap Waldrop]

Yeah Bill, I think that was he was shooting for in the satin gray wheels, the look of a new mag wheel, and they sould stay looking like for some time to come, where the real mag wheels started looking crusty pretty quickly. I think it is a very cool look, and my favorite of the two color schemes.

Hap, any pictures of these on a MG yet? I only see TVR, Datsun and Triumph when I search...

 

[CinneaghTR]

I've been seriously tempted by these wheels. Is there a source for the faux chrome knock-offs (called Nokoff?) yet?

 

[Hap Waldrop]

Don't really know, nothing I ever pursued, but I known folks, Bob white comes to mind, that modified ones to work on given wheels.

The LH AND RH NOKOF spinners are about impossable to locate. The RH threaded spinners I used to get came off ebay. I used to search "EMPI wheel" and the spinners were around $28 for a set of 4. I have not used any in a while. Bob

These will work on the new GC360 Silverstone II's...

They are bolt on, as opposed to the original threaded versions. So one no longer needs to locate LH & RH threaded spinners anymore.

That wheel looks nice. I'll admit I wasn't sold on the look of the wheel by itself, but that looks really sharp on the car.
