Austin Healey Sprite MK2/3/4

The Austin Healey Sprite MK2/3/4 came factory-equipped with simple 13x4 steel disc wheels from 1961-1971, featuring the classic British 4x4" bolt pattern (4x101.6mm). These narrow steel wheels were topped with basic hubcaps and had minimal offset, giving the Sprite its characteristic stance but limiting tire options. The factory setup was purely functional - lightweight steel construction kept costs down and unsprung weight reasonable for the small roadster's handling.

For Sprite owners looking to upgrade, our VTO vintage-style aluminum wheels offer several compatible options in the 4x101.6mm bolt pattern. Popular sizes include 13x5.5" and 13x6" for that period-correct look with improved width, or step up to 14x5.5" and 14x6" for better tire selection while maintaining the car's vintage proportions. Our polished and silver finishes complement the Sprite's classic British sports car aesthetic perfectly.

The Sprite represents the golden age of affordable British roadsters, offering pure driving joy in a compact package. These cars have become incredibly popular in vintage racing and classic car circles, with their lightweight construction and nimble handling making them track favorites. The MK2/3/4 generations refined the original "bug-eye" design into a more conventional but still charming sports car that captures the essence of 1960s motoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer
What's the factory bolt pattern for the Austin Healey Sprite MK2/3/4? The Austin Healey Sprite MK2/3/4 uses a 4x4" bolt pattern, which converts to 4x101.6mm in metric. VTO Wheels offers several vintage-style aluminum wheels in this exact 4x101.6mm bolt pattern to fit your Sprite perfectly.
Which VTO Wheels sizes fit the Austin Healey Sprite MK2/3/4? For stock replacement, our 13x5.5" wheels work great and offer more width than factory. Popular upgrades include 13x6" for maximum period-correctness, or 14x5.5" and 14x6" for better tire selection. All sizes are available in the required 4x101.6mm bolt pattern.
Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my Sprite? Hub-centric rings may be required depending on your Sprite's hub diameter and the specific VTO wheel's center bore. We recommend measuring your hub diameter and contacting us to determine if rings are needed for proper fitment and to eliminate vibration.
What offset should I use for my Austin Healey Sprite? The factory Sprite wheels had minimal offset, so we typically recommend staying in the +10mm to +20mm range from VTO's available -7mm to +38mm offset options. This maintains proper clearance while giving a slightly more aggressive stance than stock.
