Thought I would post these on here as well as the Trader section. No affiliation.

Something's wrong with these.

Says 100 mm bolt circle. i don't think that's right for a B. Says 3 bolts. I knopw that's wrong. Then "center lock" --which ain't what those are.

Yes, they are. Centerlock Minators, 14 inch, made in UK. Someone is going to get a bargain.

The bidding will get furious in the last few hours. Pity. I'd love to get them for $20.50. RAY

IMHO I think that it is smart of them to start the bidding way low.

It creates real interest and lots of folks hit the "follow" button just to see where the bidding actually ends up. It is really foolish to start the bidding at some high level as it puts folks off and they just forget about the item.

Those are the wheels that Moss sells - and they could be a bargain. I have them (but 15") on my roadster - and LOVE them! However, because they have a bolted-in steel center "spline" piece, they are not as light as the version sold by Hap and others - but they work, they look good, and they stay round! Also, if you unbolt the center section, they are much easier to balance!

I think I'll watch this. I could use a set of those.

Bob:

Those would look PERFECT on your car. I have them on the GT and can vouch for the advantages and the heavy weight! Would love to compare the weight with the ones sold by Hap. Anyone know how the cost compares between the two?

Looks like somebody got a pretty reasonable deal on these. Anyone from here?

Don't forget, this style of wheel was used by BMC on the Sebring MGB GT, LBL591E.... how could it get any better?

Yes, I bid, but didn't win them. I had to be at a college function last night, and couldn't monitory the auction.

I may have another source fo wheels like these, but in the future...have to watch my budget these days :)
