Looking for Wheels Like This...
I'm looking to buy a set of 17X8 and 17X10 wheels for my 1970 Mach 1, and I'm interested in a set of the wheels I have pictured below. These are made by an Australian company but they are only available in sizes up to 16".
Some of you may recognize these as looking like Globe Bathurst wheels sold on 1978 Falcon XC Cobras. Reproductions of those would be cool too, but I can't find anything bigger than a 15X10.
Has anyone seen wheels like this or similar but sold in larger diameters?

without the center cap, it'd look the same.

Hmm, what's the Ferrari bolt pattern?
They look really nice but probably a bit more than I can afford.-Jim...

Compumotive makes wheels like those. Price isn't too bad,either.

Does Compumotive have a website? I tried running a search and only get a bunch of software sites.

actually they arent ferrari bolt patterns. they are made for replicars so, its most likely a chevy pattern. But im sure you can get them in any pattern you want.

I was bored, so I did a quicky photochop... I think they'd look great! Check it:

Yeah... in that little thumbnail it looks funny, and it's not one of my better photochops. It's not supposed to look like whitewalls, but is a problem when you "upsize" a smaller wheel in a photochop... it makes the rim dish become abnormally large and prominent. Click on the thumbnail to get the full size image and it looks less like a whitewall, but it's still not "right".

A Ferrari wheel can be made to fit a Ford. The bolt holes and bolt cilcle are smaller than the 1/2" studs on the Ford, and the holes can be offset bored out to the Ford size.
