If you want to find 17 inch wheels -- go to e-bay -- ebay motors -- auto
parts -- wheels -- punch in the search " 17 4x114.3 " as the bolt pattern
4.5 is commonly known as 4x114.3 (mm) and hit search descriptions too --
just did and got 11 hits -- here is one

You will have to be careful with the offset as most of these wheels are for
front wheel drive cars with about 35 to 42 mm offset -- I think that the
MGB has about 20 to 25 mm offset -- this means that without a spacer
between the wheel and the hub, the wheel centerline will about 20 mm or
about 3/4 inch inboard (towards the center of the car) from what the car was
designed for.
