I have a 1949 MGTC that I just bought. It has a Brooklands wheel on it,
with a black rim,( which supposedly denotes that it is a prewar wheel),
and the chrome is shot. The centerpiece has the MG emblem and is attached
to the hub by 4 large screws. Moss is advertising a Brooklands wheel for
the TC, but it has a centerpiece that looks somewhat different, with an
MG emblem and three screws holding it on. The rim is a mottled bronze
color, ( supposedly correct for postwar T's).
Does anyone know all about these wheels? Is the different centerpiece on
the Moss wheel correct for a postwar car? Is the Moss wheel faithful to
the design of the original? Is Moss the place to get a new Brooklands
wheel, or is there a better place?
Your help is greatly appreciated........
