Woolfies always look good on a Pickup - very retro.

Re: which wheels
Slot mags look great..not sure about the boadicea wheel centres though.....
Re: which wheels
No I don't like the centre caps need to find some more
Re: which wheels
You posed the question...
I believe that Rimmer Bros may also supply silver centre caps to fit the Spitfire rims - not sure about the TR6.

Re: which wheels
On my Morry Minor Traveller which had Marina front and rear running gear, I fitted the first edition MGF wheels. They weren't too boy racer and the tyre selection was good. The rims are 15" x 6" but you might need special lug nuts.
Re: which wheels
I think he meant the "spikes" in the centre of the slotmags Kilroy, not the centrecaps on your banded spitty rims
As for MGF wheels, personally the only Marina I've seen that pulled off modern wheels was the twin cam powered estate in dark grey (that I believe was stolen fairly recently sadly
). That was modified enough (colour, interior, smoothed etc) with modern touches to pull it off. On an otherwise fairly standard car they look a bit odd- the combination of large diameter and no dish just doesn't work, for me at least. The 14" MGF steels are pretty good though.

1972 White 1800 DL Saloon- Better than it looks, but it looks awful...

Aaaah - I see what you mean.
Were they not once used by Madonna as a bra..?
Or did Boadicea get there first.?
