Have they moved Jay , I always thought they were in the Bridgewater area of Somerset when Tech-Del (?) were the parent company. Mind you in those days they were Magnesium alloy (not easy stuff to cast or machine , but very light) I guess they are now plain aluminium alloy?
I must admit I have been sorely tempted myself to invest in a set of 16 inch Minilites in order to be able to use the Toyo Proxes 205/55 x 16 tyres that everyone raves about.
Have you asked for them in body colour , I think that can look very smart. They moved several years ago to Telford and yes, originally Tech-Del......they still may be! They still make comp wheels to special order in magnesium. Mine are in aluminium alloy though! I've had them in body colour....black. Mean and moody 🤓 That will look fantastic John! Hope to see the pics - or the real deal- soon!

Black Minilites on a black car will look brilliant.
A sort of minimalist racer type look.
Pictures once fitted please.

So which black have you gone for in the end dear John? Satin or gloss black? I any way they will for sure look just the part on your NERO!!!

Satin black Jochen. Just received a Vredestein Sportrac5 in 195/65/15 to try out for size. I'd prefer to drop a size width wise if I can to improve the handling feel.

Is that on a 6.5" x 15 or 6.0" x 15 rim John? If you feel they work well on a 6.5" rim I would be very interested to follow your lead. I run 205s on a 6.5" rim (albeit on a lighter 4/4) and the car feels very over-tyred at the front.

Stuart. 6x15 wheels. Whilst they show 6.5 on their website they tell me that they don't do them and all the wheels supplied for Morgans are 6" . Suits me as I'm planning g on running 195 tyres.

Thanks John, looks like my Roadster alloys may be too wide for 195s.
I suppose I do have an excuse to buy some minilites...
