Could be I was wrong but my knowledge came from a fellow MGist who bought an
early MGB new
with chrome wire wheels installed. They were Dunlop wheels. The Factory
supplied Dunlop wheels. I
guess they could have been dealer installed - BUT the dealer probably obtained
them from the
Factory.
Chrome wire wheels on early MGB were rare though just like O/D transmissions.
Both were
expensive and buyers were not willing to spend the extra money.
