Yeah, they're mine - and they are OK, just need a bit of a clean up.

I bought them last year to run on my Alfa 33 16v racer - intending to fit the now mandated Toyo 888s control tyres, until I found out that the 14" tyres were about £20 each more than the equivalent 15"! Something to do with the 15" tyre being the standard fit for the BMW Production Cup - so very common.
As 15"Alfa/Fiat wheels, with a suitable offset, are as rare as rocking horse doodoos, I have just bought (via Ebay) a set of 15 x 7J" BMW E30 wheels for the princely sum of £36 for the four. They have on offset of ET25 - which is ideal and are the Toyo recommended width for the 195/50 -15 tyres.
To fit them to the 33, all I need to do is centre bore the spigot hole by about 1.5mm and use a set of "wobbly" bolts to accomodate the 100mm PCD. Job done!

Pat, could you possibly do the same?
