I am also looking for wheel examples/suggestions. Nothing too crazy or has been done time and time again. Will hold onto the current wheels but keen to get something fatter without having to roll the guards.

Like those Deep dish mags. But without rolling the guards? Would think 15's that wide wouldn't fit?

I had a couple of sets of minilites on my B110,...Both run 185/55 tyres.
Both sets rubbed when the car was lowered with 40mm blocks as soon as the kids got in the back seat...
Personally I love the look of minilites on a stock looking B110 they are so in keeping with the era of the car, just need to lower the car a couple of inches.
15" like those ones on trademe etc, will not fit under the stock guard, and are too big anyway (I am in the club that supports 12-14" wheel sizes on B110's!!!)
Heres what they looked like:
14x6.5" Performance superlites (12P offset from memory, and I machined about 4mm off inside of wheel too....)
The ones I had on my sedan recently, sitting in the back of my garage
14x6 Enkei mini lites, 15P offset
I shouldnt have posted those pics.... man I miss my sedan.....

Yeah, I quite like the look of the minilites/superlites but have kinda been done...not sure what they are worth, but may invest in some until something else comes along lol Cheers for the pics...very nice.

there a plate that bolts to the hub the back of the nuts (lock nuts) slot into the back of the wheel then the wheel its bolted on the the plate and hub by a big centre bolt with wrench. pretty cool.

I kinda like these although would have them in a different colour.
