I don't have any spare bits, but thought I'd mention that
Jensen-Healey wheels will fit onto a Spridget. They are
five inches wide and have an acceptable offset, although
they might need a small spacer for the rear wheels. I'm
not a Sprite expert, but it seems that the clearance for the
rear spring is slightly less on the right-hand side than on
the left. Or am I just crazy and/or in possession of a weird
car?
Also, do you really want a 16" wheel? That seems large
for a Sprite.
Actually, I'm somewhat interested in what you're up to since
I have a Midget that I work on in my spare time with the idea
of vintage racing it. Not that I ever have any spare time, mind
you, what with keeping the big Healey going and all . . .
