Without getting the M3W on the lift does anyone know the brand / size / model of the rear wheel rim and if you can buy a replacement outside of Morgan. It's not on the 'Alternative Parts List'.

Although I'm a bit far away from mine, I'm fairly sure it is a Minilite wheel but with the centre machined in a bit of a strange configuration to fit the hub.

Yes mine is Minilite 15x5.5, obviously the offset is important.

It is usually a Minilite 15x5.5 and as Calum says, with a specifically drilled and machined centre. Some have a Team Dynamics 15x6 wheel, that has a poor clearance to the rear drive sprocket and belt. It doesn't fit well but this didn't seem to bother Morgan much. I don't know what the offset is. You could try asking Minilite or Team Dynamics but you may find they have the usual Morgan "gagging order" if you mention it is for a M3W. I will be interested to hear how you get on and if they are available other than via MMC. Just had a look on the Minilite website and they say they can supply different offsets and PCD's. If you can measure one up it should be possible, although the hub/axle clearance fitting is non standard. http://minilite.co.uk/technical.htm.

Mine is Team Dynamics as well made in the UK by Rimstock in West Bromwich 👍
Don't have belt clearance problems but the wheel is not central in the chassis though as offset to the right a bit.
