Just though I'd put my two cents in, I too have 15" Panasports, love the
wheels and the look. If you're front suspension is weak you may have an
issue with your front inner fender lip on corners.

I have 15" Panasports on my Mk1A.
No issues and I like the look. I've attached two (2) pix.

I know it?s a totally different look with a mag wheel. But I want to get a
sense of how low profile the tires would be. I?m hoping to keep the
overall diameter at 23-24?.

around, except in the length. So instead of getting 6 rotations of the
knock off (for 6 threads) to tighten on the wheel, an MGB wheel on an
Alpine gets 4 rotations of the knock off, for 4 threads. There are a
number of Alpine owners running this way and say they have never had a
problem. I?m not confident in that as a legitimate conclusion to rely on.
