A belated welcome to the forum. As for the wheels, others will be more expert than me and it would be good if they could comment. In the photo it looks like you have 16" stainless steel wheels with 205 tyres? The black spoke wheels and the classic alloy wheels are 15" rims with 195 tyres (or also 205 but slightly different offset?) as fas as I remember. Therefore, it is possible that a roadster that originally had the 15" aluminium or spoke wheels was built with narrower wings. I don't want to be a killjoy, but I would like to point this out so that there is no disappointment afterwards if the wheels are too far inboard, or you use spacers, or I am wrong at all.
Enjoy your new to you very nice Morgan!

Changing from wire hubs to alloy hubs will be costly, although do-able.
Even if the CX bolt spacing matches the trads, wheel offset will be a problem.
It could be solved with a split rim wheel, but an easier option is to look at Turino wheels and see what's available.

Well, a very inexpensive solution with the Turino rims....

HI Jack (and Jill)
Thank you for your info.
Do you have a link to what you bought form John Worrell on ebay please as without knowing his parts for sale or him as an ebay seller I can't find him. But a link to a part and then I can use this as a starter to find his contact and other parts.

Hi All
Thank you for all the valuable discussion and experience.
Yes, many black wires are on the 4 are 15" and black, with a bigger Roadster I do have the larger 16" and 7J and original stainless. But there are some out there in in black.
I missed out on one set of 16" 7J on here that were new from TWS that were black from them and due to not being able to join and message the seller on here for a couple of months, they were gone once I got a 2 way chat.
I parked along side a Roadster in black with black wires in Odiham a few months ago too, so that's what started this thread.
Thought there could well be another set out there in a garage or and owner wanting a swap. ...
Also after a hard top roof...
and VMS rear spare wheel blank. They've not answered my contacts. Are they still out there?
Trying to find John Worrell of Heart of England for these wing blanks too.
Any info gladly received
Chris
