Austin Healey 100 BN1/BN2

The Austin Healey 100 BN1/BN2 came from the factory with basic 16-inch steel disc wheels, typically measuring around 16x4.5 inches. These were simple stamped steel wheels with a 4x4.5 inch (4x114.3mm) bolt pattern and painted to match the car's color scheme. The BN1 (1953-1955) and BN2 (1955-1956) used the same wheel specifications throughout their production runs, paired with chrome hubcaps that gave them their distinctive period-correct look.

For your Healey 100, VTO Wheels offers several compatible options in the 4x114.3mm bolt pattern that'll bolt right up. You can go with period-appropriate 15x6, 15x6.5, or 15x7 sizes for a subtle upgrade, or step up to 16x7 or 16x8 if you want to fill out those wheel wells a bit more. Our vintage-style aluminum wheels give you the classic look while saving significant unsprung weight over those heavy factory steels.

The Austin Healey 100 was Donald Healey's masterpiece that launched the legendary Healey dynasty in 1953. Built on a modified Austin A90 chassis, the 100 got its name from its ability to reach 100 mph with the 2.6-liter inline-four engine. These cars are absolute icons of 1950s British sports car design, and finding clean examples today commands serious money among collectors who appreciate their pure, uncompromising approach to open-air motoring.
