used oem wheel #1

I have a bent wheel on my 78 MGB. Anyone know where I can purchase a used but straight wheel?

Hi, Ernie,

If yours is the factory wheel it is the so-called "Rostyle" wheel. They're very common, and if you don't see one listed here on Buy/Sell/Trade, you could post a "Want to Buy" notice over there. I'm sure you'll get responses, possibly from someone nearby.

BTW, you may not be aware that these wheels are "lug-centric," which means that the large hole in the center of the wheel is not necessarily in the center of the wheel and, therefore, when having these wheels balanced, you must find a shop that can mount the wheel by the four lug bolt holes and not by the center hole, or your balancing will be worthless...

Ernie,
Suggest you place a WTB (wanted to buy) ad on the Buy Sell Trade Forum.

Used wheels should be plentiful, especially in the northeast, where MGB bodies rusted way, leaving many orphan drivetrains.

If it's Rostyle, I got one you can have. They were fine when I took them off the car. PM me.

There Yugo, Ernie. And a very generous gesture by Jay... thumbs up

Jay, I want to take you up on your offer. How can we arrange shipping? Of course, I will pay you for the wheel and shipping costs. Thanks so much. If you give me your phone number I can call you or you can call me at 561-635-2552. My direct email is ernieinge@gmail.com
