The wire wheel hub splines are the same, if that is the question.
All the small car (e.g. not Jaguar or Aston Martin) have the same knock
off wire wheel hub splines.

I believe there are 3 spline sizes - Spitfire/Sprite, which may use the same
diameter but are shorter, the regular MG TR Sunbeam etc, and the large
diameter used on Jags (I think Aston was the smaller diam. but I could be
wrong).
The various applications waffled back and forth between coarse and fine
thread on the knock-offs.
When I was working on my Lambo, I found that the Campagnolo wheels used the
same spline as the British ones, and I held the wheels on the car for awhile
with soem spare MG spinners while the Campagnolo items were out being
rechromed.
What do you think of this for a nice swap onto my MGC - 7" magnesium wheels?
