Can any one help here, In the Original Austin-Healey book by Clausager, page 53 under the heading of wheels & tyres, it says that a Mercury full-width wheel trims could be specified as an extra ( this is for the disc wheels) has any one information on these? Thanks Saltiga
 
Before the rear splined hubs were being reproduced (mid-late 70s, for SoCal, at least) it was commonplace to see several Healeys show up at club gatherings sporting 15" Buick wheels on the rear.

When first making my Healey roadworthy (actually, Tsikuris shop worthy, as I didn't want to subject him to tires constantly going flat...) I put a set of Chevrolet Ralle Wheels, 5 on 5" (fits their 1/2 ton pickup truck models) on my car. Those wheels/tires are currently listed in the classified section here: https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf...orvette-style)&p=859629&viewfull=1#post859629
 
The company that made "Mercury" full width discs was Ace in Coventry. Google it for an ad.
