Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Aero 8, 2012< Plus 8, SuperSports, Coupe & Aeromax Aero 8 replacement wheels needed

I had the misfortune of having my s4 hit a brick that had been left in the middle of the M1 a couple of weeks ago and am told that I need to replace the damaged wheel that resulted. As I had expected, I can no longer get a replacement wheel from Morgan, so I am going to have to buy a full set of new wheels, which I'm relatively sanguine about (life is too short, etc...). However, the only option from the Morgan dealer is a set of the perforated disc wheels offered on the current Morgans as per this Morgan website page...

...which I don't think will look very good and aren't really to my taste.
Has anyone else had to source a set of wheels for their Morgan other than from the company and, if so, would they recommend what they purchased?
I'd be perfectly happy to get a set that looks like the wheels on the Morgan Aero GT - and indeed have seen an Aero with a silver set of the design I have in mind on the previously sold page of the Melvyn Rutter dealership website.

Any thoughts/ideas gratefully received.

p.s. does anyone know the size of the wheels (18inch?) and presumably they are a different width (225 tire) front and (245 tire) rear.

https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/749758/re-aero-supersports-wheels#Post749758 is probably a good place to start :-)

Good luck!

Many thanks - much appreciated.

You can get wheels made to suit your requirements from Image wheels.

Lots of styles to choose from

Hi Terry Foxon has some for sale on ebay.
Worth a look

Many thanks

I have a set of 4 black original Aero Super Sport rims and tires with 4000 miles on them, but it looks like you are looking for silver.

Thanks for the message - I presume yours are 19 inch and mine are 18 inch?
It's proved to be far from straightforward, but hopefully I will have some new wheels (non-Morgan) by the end of this week...

So, after a great many emails and numerous false starts (don't damage your wheels in high summer if you can help it...) a set of wheels has finally been ordered and I hope will be delivered within 10 days - so I'll be back on the road during August I hope.
In case of use to anyone else, the dimensions of my original Aero 8 s4 wheels (which proved a matter of some debate) are:
18 inch diameter
8.5J front and rear (width)
PCD 114 (wheel nut spacing)
ET 30 (offset).
I've had great assistance from (among others) Sarah at Brands Hatch Morgan, Gary at rimstyle.com and Damian at wheelbasealloys.com.
When the new wheels finally arrive and are fitted I'll let you know what I've bought and from where and will post a photo.
Thanks to everyone for their advice on the forum.

Look forward to seeing them.
