Thanks guys for the speedy quality responses. Never look a gifthorse and all that, but I get the impression that a 'free' set of wheels to help a neighbour clear out his shed could be leading me into handling & scrubbing issues, or worse. That's if I could find the right adaptors to get them onto the Vitesse in the first place - and adaptors don't look cheap. I certainly wouldn't do anything with the wheels before I'd shown them to a tyre fitter or wheel refurbisher. Thanks again.

I've been offered a set of wire wheels, previously fitted to an MGB. I've never updated the wheel & tyre set-up on my '71 Vitesse - it still runs on 155x80x13 radials on I imagine 4.5" steel rims. The wheels I've been offered are 14" x 5"J. Would be great to understand what I would need to buy (everything from tyre sizes to adaptors and anything in between) to make the 'upgrade' before I take the plunge...or decide to go with plan B and repaint and polish up my Rostyle trims. Thanks in advance, Dave Holden
