I definitely agree with you Darrell. I love wire wheels but would like to do splined alloys on the second TR4A with the Surrey top.

Don, 15x8 will probably ahppen down the line, not a buig seller so lower on the totem pole. 
I had a talk with Barry at VTO yesterday, I think sometimes getting Barry on the phone, it would easier to ring the president, his pool and spa business takes up most fo his time. Anyway, I told him every time I post on the forums about a new sixe of the VTOs, whether be here or the MG forums, people are always bringing up spline drive wheels, and lord knows I would be the last human on earth to try to talk him into making them. One fo the bug hurdles for us would be how we designed Superlite spine drive wheel, with the spline adapter on the back side of the wheel to replicate the old Lemans "work" wheels, yep it a neat appraoch but there lies the hurdle, when you place the spline adapter on the back side of the wheel you muck up the backspacing of a given wheel by reducing the wheel backsacing the .400" of the adapter base, then means for ever spline application you have to design from scratch an new wheel for every given application with enough increased backspacing to accomondate the adpater being maounted on the backside, I think you get the picture, a very expensive proposition. Now on the Minitor splined wheels the sspline adpater is mount on the outside of the wheel, what htis does is allow them to use the same offset/backsapcing whether the wheel is for spline or bolt on application. So, anyway we started talking about the possiblity of do the adpater on the outside, and possibly making a splined wheel product in the future, Ok with that being said, this is going to happen anytime soon, maybe a year or tow down the line, and probably just with the Classic 8 product not the Retro 4 product, forst we have alot more size of bolt on to design, prototype and make production runs of, but a palned wheel could happen in the future, and this mostly based on what we hear from you on the forums.

Hap,
I'd certainly be interested in a set for my TR4A. No rush here.

I guess you are referring to the 15x6s, if so we have good stock on them now, so when ever you are ready sir.

Hap,
I was referring to the splined version you mentioned in the quote below.
