I'll share what I can answer.

I went for BG's 18/4 for the front, 16/4 with integrated hand brake pads for the rear.

Going to vented in front, solid discs in the back. Discs are available sizes, had the hubs custom made as per own measurements, but general design based upon stock discs.

I can't speak for any stock wheel or so.
I bought mine with Albert wheels - aka, very early BBS wheels, but there would be no way to make those fit with the BG calipers, as they are waaaay wider!
Or you'd have to use spacers, but who would want to run one inch spacers... I don't!

Anyway, I'm switching to other wheels anyway, namely Basset "nascar" wheels, though that did only solve the problem partly. I shipped the 18/4's back to BG and had them made less wide.

The entire package doesn't come cheap, but I wanted to have decent brakes, thought still periodic correct by looks.

Still have to have some things to be modified, and adaptors made.

Work in progress...
