MG MGB/GT
The MG MGB came from the factory with 14x4.5" steel wheels and wire spoke wheels as options, using a 4x4.5" (4x114.3mm) bolt pattern throughout the production run. Early models (1962-1967) typically wore pressed steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, while later models got styled steel wheels with trim rings. The wire wheels were the desirable upgrade, but they required special knock-off hubs and were prone to maintenance issues. Factory offset was around +25mm to +30mm, giving these British sports cars their proper stance and handling characteristics.
VTO Wheels offers perfect modern alternatives with our 4x114.3mm bolt pattern wheels in sizes like 14x5.5", 14x6", 15x6", and 15x7" - giving you that classic look with contemporary reliability. Our offset range from -7mm to +38mm means you can run stock-style fitment or go slightly more aggressive for a custom stance. The polished finish mimics those classic wire wheels, while our machined lip options give a more modern twist to this timeless British icon.
The MGB represents one of the most successful British sports cars ever made, with over half a million produced during its 18-year run. These affordable roadsters and GT coupes became the backbone of vintage racing and autocross scenes worldwide, prized for their nimble handling and classic proportions. Today, clean MGBs are increasingly collectible, making proper wheel selection crucial for both authenticity and performance.
