What do you think this would look like? Opinions welcome, good or bad...

I've seen a couple of B's with them. Personally, I'd find something else but that's just me.

Looks like four boomerangs holding a wheel together.

I guess they would look good cleaned up, It looks like a simmler Leyland design,

Yeah, but is that in a good way, Bruno? ;)

I'm really looking for a set from a 280z / zx, havent been able to find a good set yet.

you are the one who has to look at them on the car every day, do you like them?
IMO. I think they would look cool with the high points and lip polished and the low points powder coated or sprayed the same colour as the car or black.

I had actually thought about doing just that, I was going to look at painting them a dark grey except for the rim and flat surfaces, which would be polished to some degree...

IMO i think that would look fantastic.but do you have wire wheels on the car atm it would be a shame to remove them?

Matthew, I do have wires on the car now, and I love the look. I'm having issues with the spokes loosening, wheels vibrating, etc.on these 30 something year old wheels. I don't have the $$ right now to buy new wire wheels, so I'm looking at going to a bolt on wheel of some type. I can find some bolt on hubs locally (I'm pretty sure) and the wheels in question are at a Pull-a-part yard here for $13 apiece. Just looking at my options right now as this is a daily driver and I need to do something pretty quickly...

fair play, nissan 200SX wheels also fit the mgb aswell (rim no wider than 6" tho) i believe it is the nissan S12 (200sx), and S13 (200SX) chassis that has the same PCD these are quite easy to get on ebay, also nissan 240z and 260z wheels wil fit (i have slotmags from a 260z) (i think)

An interesting site for those looking for Datsun/Nissan wheels for your B. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/wheels_fs.html

Trey,
If they're only 13.00 each, grab them and use them until you can afford what you really want. I don't think you can find original Rostyles at that price.
