Tom, Chris..
I also have some Vega wheels on my Midget. You can
check out the pics at www.pacifier.com/~dlhall. I don't
remember the size on mine. The rear wheels come very close
to rubbing on the rear springs though.
Regarding the Datsun 5 speed tranny - Did that
come from a 210, did you use the kit and install
it your self? How did it go?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
My 71' sports Chevy Vega GT wheels. Same bolt pattern as the MG only 6"
wide. I have Bridgestone 185x60x13 R series tires on it. It handles
super and looks great. It's white with twin blue racing stripes, bumpers
removed and openings filled, after market seats, and Datsun 5 speed
tranny. It's a blast to drive. I think the tires and wheels are the key.
I bought the wheels out of a junkyard for $10 each.
