Is anyone able to identify the wheels currently fitted to my Marina based Roadster please? I've "Googled" in every way I can think of, but with no success. Do you think they would have any value if I tried to sell them, or is the 13" size and PCD size too restrictive?
I know the "alternative wheels" question has been raised several times before, but despite looking through all the earlier replies, I still can't find a nice simple answer to the question "Is there an alternative 14" or 15" wheel that will simply bolt on to replace the current 13" wheels fitted to my Marina based Roadster?", bearing in mind that any necessary alterations would have to be paid for as I don't have any workshop facilities and I have very limited mechanical skills anyway. I have a very limited budget so a set of brand new wheels and tyres isn't possible I'm afraid.
I took "Batty" to his first car show last weekend and the first person who stopped to look said they liked the look of the car, but wondered why it was fitted with such small wheels! I agree that they do look small and that's not helped by the enormous gap between the top of the rear tyre and the mudguard. A little bit higher gearing would be good too.
I'm quite taken with Franklin's idea of using MGF spare wheels and may well go for that, but I would also have been interested to have heard from anyone who has successfully done something else, using MGF alloys perhaps? Any ideas greatly appreciated!
