The aftermarket alloy wheels that were on the car as I purchased it are not a good fit.
They have only about 4mm offset, so they stick out too far. The previous
owner got around this problem by jacking the rear end up several inches
with extra long spring shackles and running tiny 165/60 tires. So I've
been looking for a set of wheels that will fit properly. I wanted
something different, and found these.
They are vintage Campagnolo 'Ragno' wheels, made in Italy for Datsuns
as an aftermarket item. They have stickers inside printed with "Datsun".
It's a 14" x 6" size, with 22.7mm offset which is a perfect fit on the
MGB. This is unusual for Datsun wheels, which usually do not have enough
offset for our cars.
