<<Also if you are
looking for Minilite look-a-likes, take a close look at Saab from the
latye '70's (Saab 96?). The top of the line Saab came with wheels
which looked like Minilites - I think the bolt patter is the same as
the MGB (I have spare saver from a Saab 96 - and it fits)>>

That's the SAAB 99 and the 900.  The SAAB 96 and 97 
(Sonnet) have a very large and strange bolt pattern
(similar to pre-67 VW's).

The 99 and "classic" 900 (through 1993) use a 4x4.5 bolt
pattern.  All the rims are 15" and vary from about 5.0 
to 6.0 inches wide.  Can't specifically recall the offset, 
but I think it would be acceptable.
