I bought a set of spilt rim Compomotive wheels (look similar to ones on 288GTO) on ebay, for track day use (never actually got round to going on one this year but intend to next year), They are 7x16 front & 8x16 rear
Thinking that a trackday would wreck a set of tyres I got a local company to fit some part worn Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (£30 each). I put 205X55 R16 on front and 225x50 R16 on rear to keep the rolling radius approximately the same.
BTW, I normally have the original wheel/tyres on my gt4 as I like the original 70's look, they are Michelin XWX 205x70 VR14 and are expensive but seem to be readily available.
Have a trawl of the web, I've just found (in UK) http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/MichMetric.php so they do exist.
