They're not so much a Minilite replica as a recreation of the magnesium
American Silverstones of the past. They were often used in 13" variety on
Sprites... but hard to come by these days. The originals in 15" are crack
prone. All are fairly porous.

I see that the American Racing Wheel site has Minilite replica's that
are available in a variety of offsets and even undrilled or custom stud
patterns. http://www.americanracing.com

well, it has happened again. got a set of wheels that had the correct
hub dimensions but the bolt pattern was wrong. off just enough to not
fit over studs. hard to believe a wheel from UK would not fit an austin
healey.
seemed to be some kind of metric setup. sent them back. have a
restored bn6 sitting on jackstands waiting for wheels. may be forced to
buy something i do not want just to get it on the road. any help
finding wheels will be appreciated. most places do not even bother to
answer when i ask for 15X5.5
with 5X5 bolt pattern, so need some new places to bother. healeymanjim
