I work with a fellow who used to be into Austin
Healeys in the 70's. He said people used to put 60's
era Buick wheels on. A direct bolt on. They did have
a few sport rims back then but I've never seen this in
reality today.

Subject: [Healeys] wheels, again
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.
