15x8 Big Wheel. Needs alot of work, or keep it as is for one bitchin' water hose reel. Id like to trade it for vintage performance stuff rather than sell, so if one of you guys wants it and has something I may be interested in, let me know.

cool wheel, that is some serious mutilation on the centre cap area though, could that be fixed and be made safe to run again? On samba a few months ago there were a couple of sets, but they were 14's.

Si.

Its cracked too. Im sure if the centre was cut loose from the hoop that the cap area could be fixed, as well as the crack. Then you could have it put on a narrower hoop with whatever backspacing you wish. Here is a pic of a nice one Ive lifted from David Mayes site... and my cracked one.
