Default Wheel Options

Found what I was looking for. VTO wheels.

Everyone to their own taste. Not to my liking but then it is not my car. I prefer wire wheels on a Mk2 as these look too modern for the styling. But as I said each to their own.

I quite like them. They aren't my favourite Dunlop, but a fair compromise. They resemble the old Minilites that were popular for racing.

Nice choice. One of the few instances where an aftermarket wheel looks at home on a car.

Those VTO's are nice. Did you order them from Hap? I ran a set on my MGB for about 4 years and they are very light. Only took them off because I wanted to go back to wire wheels.

The wheel centers that came with the wheels fit on the back but do not fit the front. I realized that when I bought the wheels. I like the look of wires too but the cost difference was too much to pay. I bought the wheels straight from VTO.
