I got my wheels from Moss and they are the Minators as well.  I got the
bolt-on ones (not the knock off version) and they look really good and were
reasonably priced.  Mine are 13X5.5s I think.  I ran into a woman at Pep
Boys the other day and she had some of the knock off wheels from VB for an
MGB and she had had some problems with them.  I think out of 4 she had to
send three back for replacements.  Not sure if that's a VB thing or a
Minator thing.  When I had tires mounted on my wheels, however, out of 4
wheels they only had to put a small weight on one of them.  The others
balanced out perfectly (with Michelin tires, of course!).
