I recently picked up this insane set of Simmons B45s from a guy who built a car in the style of the IMSA 320i Turbo below. He built the car with the best stuff and the wheels are no exception. As he was finishing, someone gave him an offer he couldn't refuse for the car, but didn't want the wheels and tires.
That was about ten years ago. Two of the tires were mounted for fitment purposes but the wheels and tires are brand new. I have yet to accurately measure the offset of the wheels but it's low, close to zero. 15x10 fronts, 15x13 rears. Rare doesn't begin to explain these wheels. There were only a few sets ever imported from Australia and they were meant to lead hard lives and go to race wheel heaven. I doubt there's anything like it out there. The tires are amazing. 285s up front and 345s in the back. The tires date back to the mid '90s but there is NO dry rot and the tires look fine and hold air great. Looking for $1800. Wheels are located in SoCal but I can work on shipping if necessary. Pics speak:
