On the topic of wheels that look like Dino but fit 4 stud hubs like the MGF - here is something I've suggested before, apologies for the rush Photoshop job.
Take one pressed/welded deep dish steel wheel - like the Weller ones in the UK. Get one to suit your drive train. Add a thin fibreglass molding in the shape of the Dino wheel and centre cap. Paint it shiny silver in the middle, dull silver round the edges, glue on a Dino badge. I've actually got ba mold of the wheel and a genuine Dino cap already.

Here's a mocked up picture

Hi all
If anyone is interested I have 5 replica cromadora wheels ,that I made the patterns for and were then handcast by a local foundry,sent away for heat treated before being part machined for me by an old friend who owned his own engineering company. Sadly,as it was a fill in job to do when he wasn't busy,he passed away before they were finished (machined to fit lancia/beta/lada/deon hubs!) I visited several engineering companies to get them finished machined but was quoted silly money so I abandened the project and got a set from superformance for around half the price of the machining quote!!
I guess they could be adapted to use for making a hub cap as per above. Or maybe finish machined if you have access to a big enough lathe.Looking for around £100 as that's what the recyclers have offered. If interested pm and I'll send some pictures.There are five in total.
