What does he run for lug nuts/studs? Does he have any balance/vibration
problems with the Morris? The BMW wheels are "hub-centric", using the
hub lip to center the wheel, where as Midget Rostyles (and I'd asssume
Sprite and Morris stock rims) are "lug-centric", using the lugs to
center the wheel to the axle. I've heard of people having vibration
problems if a hub-centric wheel is not truly centered on the hub...

A friend of mine runs BMW "bottle caps" on his Morris Minor and he has
used the same wheels on his Midget but just to roll it around.
I did some mods to the center hole I think but other than that, they
bolt up and work. So do VW wheels but the front wheel drive offset makes
for a funky looking fit.
