Christopher,
I am in dire need of tires and wheels myself (can't even tow the car around
on what I've got). Are there photos of and info on these on the web? I'm
assuming they are Minilite?

Thanks

                Does the Tiger have the same wheel bolt pattern as the
Alpine?

                I must confess that I am contemplating the incomprehensible,
buying
                from Victoria British.

                As some of you may know I attempted to broker a group deal
to purchase
                Superlite wheels from the UK. Being ignorant of such
dealings, I had
                an offer of help from a fellow lister on the East coast to
handle the
                deal. Well, I've not heard from him in months and have
become
                discouraged to the point that I have begun to consider what
I said I
                would never do. And besides, the enormity of what the deal
entailed
                was just too much for me to handle alone.

                VB is now selling a 14x5.5 wheel (which they list for the
Tiger) for
                $139.00, as opposed to their regular price of $169.00. I've
seen these
                wheels on Triumphs and MG's and the owners were quite
satisfied with
                them and they appear to be very nice. And I'm guessing that
I'll only
                be paying about $20-30 more per wheel that I would have had
our deal
                been realized.

                What size tire can be used withthis wheel?
                Any opinions on my predicament? I must confess I feel badly
about
                abandoning the deal.

                Christopher
