To start, I know there is an Ebay and elsewhere section but I figured these seemed a bit special and warranted a bit of dream build action I saw these on ebay a while ago while idly looking for wheels for my MG and it appears they still haven't sold www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBS-15-dia-wheels-Set-of-4-from-Historic-WSC-Race-Car-Race-Classic/363123236241?hash=item548bd4dd91:g:x8oAAOSwISJerVBI  I suspect in part due to them being a gargantuan 15x13 and 15x14.5, there aren't all too many people in the market for a wheel that wide  No doubt they could be re-lipped to more manageable sizes but if you could think of a project car to fit them to, what would it be? For me, I'd have to find some way of making them fit under my MGBGT with Sebring arches, as low as possible with massive dish to get the look just right, something like this example  |

Huge arches, bit of a lift, big wide bogger tyres, could suit it grizz š

My funds wouldn't stretch, but forgetting that, squeezing them either under standard arches (well, rolled and pulled!) Miura.
Or, sort some wide arches for my GT6. Would have to have a bit less camber though for tyres on that!

They would be perfect for you Rian - well apart from the price tag! I even have some old wet weather tyres that would fit them! Might be a little *Ahem* borderline *ahem* legal but would be great. P.  |

With a 3.75" PCD, they would be most easily fitted to '70s Triumphs, Marinas or MGFs.

 A wild, high-powered time attack version of one of these. Easy fit, just widen the arches to suit, no worries on scrub etc. Oh, wouldn't you believe it? I'm attempting something just like that! What are the chances?  |

Surely that's a Slater-505-esque build in them wheels for someone (albeit not at Ā£1250 for the set!!)

Can't help thinking of Group C touring car racing, particularly the big Aussie Falcons of the late '70s - early '80s.

Oh come on. It's blatantly obvious that the only real contender is a 105E. Please, somebody do it. |

 Maybe a bit too wide but the style has mk1 golf with a berg cup arch kit fitted written all over it |
