Hi
The wheels for a Spit, GT6 and TR7/8 are the same weird bolt pattern -- 4x
95mm-- here is a bunch of references that I have found for TR7/8 rims --
maybe one will be what you are looking for --

There is an article on the World Wide Wedge (http://www.team.net/TR8/),
under "Technical Stories", "Archives", "Ezine", "No.3" which goes fully into
the bolt pattern and offsets of the TR7/TR8. It's a good read and discusses
several wheel options. Apparently the bolts are spaced at 95.5mm.
Here are what 6x15 inch MGF alloys look like on a TR7:

Compomotive makes wheels that fit the TR7. Try
http://www.usacomp.com/Road.htm
The models that fit the TR7/8 are: AT, CXN2, MO & RE. You can get them up
to 16" dia. and 2 models are available up to 18" dia. When I checked last,
I think the wheels ran generally @ $179 ea. for 16" wheels
Here is a place you can buy cheap wheels in UK
