MGB Wheel Upgrade - 1978 MGB

Offline
I bought a second set of Charcoal 15x6 Superlites from Hap Waldrop a couple of years ago before he discontinued the line and started carrying VTOs.

I finally got around to buying new tires for them and installing them on the 1978 MGB. (I kinda had to as I sold the Rostyles and trim rings to an MGE enthusiast, Dave Ripper of Morton, IL.)

I think they look pretty good on the old gal!

Next upgrade will be an o/d transmission....then Fiero seats!

Looks great. I really like that charcoal color with the white car. Maybe I will paint my wheels after all.

I have the same rims on my V8.

I have a couple of o/d trans for a b. Want to sell- cheap!

Marv

If I were in the market, I would take you up on this offer...but I've already got an o/d for the 1978 and an o/d for the 1972 already collected and sitting in the barn waiting for my "spare" time.

You should have no problem in reducing your inventory.
