Another change I made was to the wheels. I was going to use the Smart Fortwo wheels and have adapters made up to mount them. I have gone away from that due to the cost of the adapters and the bolt pattern is limited to one so wheel selection would have been poor.

Currently I have chosen to go with a 4X100 bolt pattern since they are abundant and also cost effective. After doing a little research I stumbled onto a company who makes the adapters for the Spit to 4X100 bolt pattern. This was nice and one less thing I had to do

Here is the link to the company = Triumph Spitfire & GT6 - Wheel Adapters - Classic Car Performance

These adapters open the door to many light weight Alloy rims. Spitfire wheels are getting more and more difficult to find these days and the cost is not advantageous IMO.
