Please can I borrow a set of A Series Metro wheels for a month!

 

Progress on my 1984 MG Metro has been gently progressing, new front panel, a couple of repair panels and the engine bay painted. The engine has been honed with new rings and the head converted to unleaded. It is with a garage who do not restore cars but fell into this one, it went in for a light re commissioning and then we found some rust and the engine locked and other faults due to standing so they wheel it in and out of there workshop when they have spare time.

 

The car was on Metric wheels and the tyres were shredded when I bought it, so in advance of collecting it I purchased a set of peperpots. They need refurbishing and I want to do this but need to keep the car so it can be pushed around. Is anybody able to loan me a set of A series Metro wheels for a month or sell me a cheap set? I live in Buckingham MK18 and it needs to be somewhere in range of that, say 50 miles.

12 inch wheels off a post '85 mini should work as well

 

 

 

*edit* come to think of it 10 mini wheels might fit on rear at least

 

doesn't any of the "field cars" have similar pcd like the ferald or spitnasty?

I'll ask a friend when I see him tomorrow. Do they need lethal (sorry legal) tyres or will anything that holds air do?

That said we are out of the 50 mile range but are going to the BL show in Milton Keynes next Sunday

10" mini wheels won't fit over the front brakes I believe, and the 12" ones need the centre bore increased.

That would be great - thanks. Anything that holds air will be fine, just to keep the MG mobile while its own wheels are refurbished. The owner of the borrowed wheels can of course have them back afterwards! I am planning to go to the BL day as well, so that could work out well.

I can do you FREE 3 Rostyle wheels without tyres as fitted to midgets (A35s), usually 54 of your Earth Pounds each new from MGOC for collection  somewhere on Rutland Ave    High Wycombe   !!

I have 2 you can borrow, 1 inflated, 1 slow puncture, although I'm located about 80 miles away.

Unrelated but I have some mk1 turbo wheel nuts lying about somewhere. Very rare they say.
