Bob at Vintage wheels is a great guy, easy to deal with and very accommodating. I had a custom set of 15" dia. BRM wheels made up in 10" front and 12" rear widths all painted Gulf color and they came out great, finding suitable rubber for them is another challenge though and needs to be considered in the overall cost.

The Vintage wheels are cast one piece, so need to be widened to meet the special widths, the offsets are different front and rear, so you'll probably need all 4 widened i.e. not likely the standard 15x10 rears will fit up front.

I'm not sure about going the full 14" width on a GP4 as all the offset is toward the outside. Obviously you have to retrofit the pin drive hubs too.

Personally if I was going GP4 and 15" it would be with the original style 10 spoke Campi's. That said Ron McCall had Halibrand style wheels on his narrow body Pantera for some time and I always thought they really suited the car/color..
