Amazon wheels
 
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Amazon world, a year ago rescued a 1966 122s. The car still has its original skinny wheels. I'd really like to fit something a little wider, perhaps 740 or 940 wheels if these would fit?
Alternatively if anyone has any banded wheels or minilites available ( don't mind good quality copies) I'd be very interested. 🙏🙂

The later wheels have a different PCD.

This company will band your wheels and are very quick. https://www.bandedsteelwheels.co.uk/

Great thankyou. Ideally I'd like to with something different

Later (240s and later) wheels have a 5 x 4.25" PCD, your hubs are 5 x 4.5", so none of those wheels will fit. You could get some spacers to adapt 5x4.5" to 5x4.25" (cost around £250), then the RWD (so 240, 740 and 940) wheels would fit. The later FWD would have too large an offset (ET).

There are lots of wheels produced with the right PCD (5 x 114.3mm or 4.5") and the right offset (ET = about 20mm), perhaps the most suitable are the Minilite design (about £450/set).

I'm not sure about banding wheels.

PS. You can fit 175 section tyres to your wheels, I think they look fine:

Othen, those tyres do make the car sit nice! Are they are 175/ 60 15?
