In my recent report on the status of the Green Car and the possibility
of a second Green Car coming to Octagons-R-Us, I ended up with the
following comment:

I should, at the risk of sounding too full of myself, mention that
I am at least in the position to do this with an M.G. Midget. I would
*like* to be in a position to do this with, say, an Aston-Martin DB5.
As Torrey is fond of saying, "Yeah, right." :-)
BTW, does anyone *know* -- meaning have you done it yourself or do you
have a primary reference that says for a fact it will work -- whether
you can cross-fit MGB and Midget wire wheels? I know about the 14"
versus 13" difference, I know about wheel arches, etc. etc. etc. What
I want to know is about spline count and hub size. The '70 Midget that
I've made a bid to purchase comes with wire wheels. It might be fun
to go +1 on them, as I have five MGB wire wheels already. And of course,
you're way ahead of me if you remember that I also have four 14 x 5.5"
center-lock Minilite replicas. Now *that* might be fun...
