Yep.  I installed a set of Dan Gurney Indy style alloys on my 65 Spit
that I got off of a TR7 in a junk yard ($50 for the set).  They bolt
right on!  I also retrieved the larger TR7 studs. (Use the rears, as the
fronts have a different neck size).  The studs fit the Spit hubs and
take a larger nut.

Beware that the offset/inset of the wheels may not be correct.  As the
correctness of the offset of the ones I retrieved was unknown, I cannot
say as to whether the specified TR7 offset is correct for the Spit.  Yet
the wheels fit under the fenders, barely, with 185-70's.  Its a mix and
match, and possibly miss proposition.  But your chances are good.
