I love the look of the wood and pickett on 12 x 6 inch wheels, on huddersfield they advertise these arches to be 2.5" wide,

Would these get away with MOT?

Just a quick warning, I personally haven't had good experience with wood and picket arches. Yes they look nice but they have to be bent quite a fair bit to actually fit the arch of the wheel!
