[Healeys] MINILITE WHEELS ?

[Chris Dimmock]

Hi Jim,
I have 6 inch wide centrelock minlites on my BJ8, with 195 tyres. 
Have had these for 18 years. 
I love the look. 
I had 5.5 in wires with 195 tyres previously, and the rears rubbed on hard cornering. 
The beauty of a centre lock minilite is you can put an alloy plate between the wheel centre and the splined hub, and effectively move the wheel back inside the front guard. You can't do that with a 6 in wide wire wheel.
