MG TD TF 1500 - Wire Wheel Kits

I have been given an excellent set of wire wheels. Looking at the fitting kits available from the regular suppliers it appears I will need new brake drums with the spline attached. The cost is about a 1000 pounds. Is it possible to buy spline adapters that will bolt onto the steel wheel drums?

Jan, You probably already know this but the only thing I can find is complete kits including wheels, drums and hubs. Very expensive. PJ

Thanks Paul. I have decided that my car left the factory with disc wheels, I have photos of the car going back to to the 1950s all showing the original wheels so that's how it is going to stay.

Hi Jan
Fancy selling me a set of excellent wire wheels? I am in Ireland so not a million miles away.

Hi Darryl,

I have now removed the tyres and inspected the wheels and they are not as good as I thought. Two have 60 spokes and have some rust spots but are OK. One is a 60 spoker but three of the spokes are missing. Condition is the same as above. The fourth has 48 spokes and has some rust but a blasting would clean it up fine. The fifth was a 19 inch TC one and I have given this to a friend. The wheels are of no use to me and are taking up space so if you can organise shipping you can have them free of charge - or perhaps a 10 pound donation to a childrens' charity. I would obviously pack and label them as appropriate. I can send you photos if you give me you personal email address. If Darryl doesn't want them the offer is open to any other enthusiast but because of the weight and size it would only be worth it for UK owners.

Hi Jan Thanks your very generous. Would you mind sending a couple of pics to lambdarryl@gmail.com. I will check out the price of transport for the 3 60 spokes. Thanks Darryl
