Hi there,
The importance of the wheels is the backspacing. A BDR requires a 4 1/2 backspacing on a front 8 inch wheel in 15 inch. This is generally not a problem in knock off wheels. The problem is the rear wheel. In a 15 we use a 15 by 10 with a 5 3/4 backspace.
As far as I am aware there are no 15 inch knock offs which the backspacing we need. The reason why a Team 3 wheel works is that it is a 2 piece construction which allows any backspace. Most Kock offs are a one piece casting and the manufacturers have a small margin to work on the backspacing.
After all that it also depends on the style of wheel you are loking for. I don't believe it is currently possible with a Halibrand style wheel but I know one customer had a custom set of Dayton wire wheels made for his car and he had not fitment problems.
I hope this helps to clarify the issue a little better.
Regards Reg
