Custom rims from a Morris center 14 x 5 run $400 painted for solid wheels. The
Morris Minor has 14 inch wheels with the same bolt pattern- There is a company
in the UK that makes the 14 X 5.5 minilite style rims. They run around $550 for
a set of 4 plus shipping. Do you know the off set your trying to find? These
may fit.
Silver Minator 14 x 5.5" wheels for MG Midget, Austin Healey Sprite, Morris
Minor. 4x101.6PCD (4x4"), +22 offset, 65.5 center hole. Sold as a set of 4.
or
Superlite 14x6, polished lip for a Sprite/Midget for $648.00 a set plus
shipping
These are the only two styles i have seen. I am not sure if people had to
make some changes to make them fit. I have seen them on cars.

Does anybody have experience mounting a 14" wheel on a square arch Spridget?
I know (or at least think I know) the regular size is a 13"x5" wheel. I was
thinking about getting some mini-lites or a copy thereof and thought the car
might look even better with a slightly lower profile tire on a 14" wheel. I
don't even know if anybody makes a 14" in the appropriate bolt pattern and
offset.
Does anybody know of a 14"x5" minilite-looking wheel with the same offset and
bolt pattern?
Could maybe a properly-offset 14"x5.5" wheel work or is that not advisable for
some reason?
Has anybody done this or seen anybody do it and not have to mess with the rear
fenders?
I have no problem with 13's if nothing is out there, as custom-made wheels are
not an option on my budget. It's just that I've been hanging plus-1 or plus-2
sized wheels on my toy cars for over 20 years now - I just love the look.
Thanks,
