I ran across this article while doing some Gran Coupe googling:

It seems somebody in Japan road races a pretty cool looking Gran Coupe.  Check out the Minilite style wheels by Watanabe:

 Ok so that ate up 45 mins or so looking at different articles !!

I know!!  I am still looking at stuff even after I posted that.  There are some pretty cool old NASCAR videos: 1964 Riverside, 1971 Greenville. So much for getting anything else done!

I have 15" minilte rims ,tires( low mileage , maybe 2000 miles) , and  lug nuts that I'm not using but shipping would be stupid expensive....

yea, they would look good on my Cuda, but I am running 315 rear so I don't think they would work too well.

Thanks but I'm thinking of selling these as I now have 18X11 on all 4 corners. http://www.etwheels.com/lt_iii.html

My post was just in case some future reader wanted to know where to find a set.  I'd love to buy your set for a second set to have on race day.  but first I need to build something to race!

  There is some 15" racing rubber to choose from but they are usually short tires, good for racing , not so good on the street.
