I have a set of the new knock-on minilites (from the UK) on my MGB. Not too
expensive (about $375 each), but heavy. I didn't realize how heavy they were
until they arrived and I opened the box. By that time, I was commited to
keeping my centerlock hubs. Oh-well! With the knock-0ns, there is
considerable extra weight in the center splined section. The real value is
probably the bolt on minilite: Strong and light. I do feel secure in that
the minilite knock-on is reportedly 4 lbs lighter that a wire wheel and
infinately stronger. And the weight is in close to the center of the wheel
and not near the hub.
