I just skimmed the car list and I looked at the photo and my take is that they are for front wheel drive cars, and that of course will make them have a huge offset, not suitable for your RWD MG.

Amazing! Fits almost anything. A friend bought some wheels for a spitfire, was assured they would fit, I was correct, they didn"t
Correct me if wrong but FWD wheels can sometimes be corrected with spacers. I have Saab Shelbys and use 6mm spacers in the rear and none in the front using 195/60/15 tires and have no issues. What is the width of the rims? that could definitely be a deal breaker. You would want to get the offset info from him.
I have emailed and asked for offset and width
i'll post when he answers
i do like them and think they would look great on my freshly painted car (vermilion orange
got an amswer to my email the rims are... 14x6 with a 35 offset
would my 185/70/14 tires fit the rim
are there any other questions i should ask
Carl is right, you CAN move the center line of the wheel out to a point where it is directly over the center line of the main wheel bearing, but in order to do so you will certainly have to replace the studs with ones that are longer and then buy spacers to do the job..
Apparently the only ones that are available are in a metric size and are listed by Summit racing. Then you will need a new set of decent looking nuts that will be compatible with the openings in the wheels.
I know that the appearance is a subjective and person thing, but I would point out that the spoke plane on these wheel is WAY to the outside of the wheel and to my eye, would look pretty weird on an MG. You might want to compare this photograph with the one that Hap posted last week concerning the new line of VTO wheels that he is going to carry. BIG difference.
To sum it up, and take it from a guy who has been there and done that, be really careful to avoid being sucked into some big disappointing deal just because the price seems to be right at the moment.

guess ill stick with my orginal plan and get my rotstyles powder coated
I think that is better idea! This is rally silver and clear coated.
Them new ones Hap sells, looks pretty good. I might have to get me a set of those down the road, I just bought the Superlites for my DD and if I buy this other car I'm looking at the Supers might have to go on that car..
