bratboy1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hey everyone, I was looking to get new wheels for my 82 brat GL in the US, I was looking to get these: https://mossmotors.com/minilite-style-bolt-on-wheels-4 . Will the 14"x5.5" fit? I really like the old Enkei wheels and want to get these aluminum ones and get them coated gold for that really cool look. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find it lol Do you know of any wheels that are similar to the Enkeis that they sell new? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru2 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It is a MGB wheel.They are 4 x 114.5. Can`t help on the Enkeis . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The 5.5" bolt pattern equates to 139.7 mm, so closer to 140 mm for the Brat. A 4.5" wheel is equivalent to 114.3 mm. OP, you may want to research the hub bore size. These wheels may not clear the hub bore. If you see the original hubs on the EA 81's that are bolted to rotors, there are four alignment protusion's on each hub that the wheels clear and center around. The wheels in the link appear to have much smaller hub bores, but that is just based on the pictures. Edited May 10, 2020 by aba4430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru2 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Read more carefully,5.5" is the wheel width,not the bolt pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
