I work with a fellow who used to be into Austin
Healeys in the 70's.  He said people used to put 60's
era Buick wheels on.  A direct bolt on.  They did have
a few sport rims back then but I've never seen this in
reality today.

well, it has happened again.  got a set of wheels that
had the correct
hub dimensions but the bolt pattern was wrong.  off
just enough to not
fit over studs.  hard to believe a wheel from UK would
not fit an
 austin
healey.
seemed to be some kind of metric setup.  sent them
back.  have a
restored bn6 sitting on jackstands waiting for wheels.
 may be forced
 to
buy something i do not want just to get it on the
road.  any help
finding wheels will be appreciated.  most places do
not even bother to
answer when i ask for 15X5.5
with 5X5 bolt pattern, so need some new places to
bother.
