Apart from OEM wheels what others are know to fit the Riley 1.5 please.
Another thread shows that Morris Minor wheels may fit is this correct?
If we don't go with OEM then I'd quite like Weller steel wheels but not sure what sizes and types would fit?

Morris Minor wheels are the same but the Van has I believe half inch wider ones which are becoming harder to source. There are also two different types of construction the earlier wheels have the centers riveted and the later ones are welded, beware of cracks through the riveting holes and through the seating for the wheel nut plus cracks between two wheel nut holes when purchasing wheels. Hope this is of some help NP

Bruce, Thank you for this . We have some decisions to make for sure. Mum would probably want the original style and, as we are preserving in memory of dad, then this makes some sense. That said, we actually quite like the retro look and fancy something we have seen on some of the track based cars. Have been speaking to Rae Davis and he is sending me a picture of some Weller wheels that he can supply as a direct fitment. Darren.

Still pondering and, if honest, struggling with this. Companies are not returning to me when I contact them which is frustrating to say the least. My compromise at the moment for a nicer looking wheel is this www.wellerwheels.com/product-p/mm55x14.htmDo we think this would fit or I have a got this completely wrong and need to start again?
