      Lost a wheel on the freeway today...help me find a cheap replacement set!

      Yup.

      Was visiting a friend in Tennessee for the last 3 weeks. Just got back this morning at about 1am. First thing I did when I woke up was take the Nova for a little cruise, drove maybe 5-10 miles through town, got onto the freeway, drove about a mile and was going about 60 when the car jerked to one side and started making a grinding noise. Pulled over to find the driver side rear riding on the rotor.

      Looks like the studs just snapped and the wheel said "later dude!", which is weird because there was no wobbling or strange noises before it happened.

      Anyway, I'm looking at these wheels now:

      What would it take to fit those on a 69 Nova with tall ATS spindles and C5 brakes up front and LS1 rear brakes? I was running BMW M3 wheels but the offset/backspacing was all wrong, and even with 1.5" adapters up front, they hit the frame and severely limited my turning radius. I wanted to get some wheels with the right specs for my car, but they're way too expensive right now.

      Thanks!
      Matt

      69 Nova - 357, TKO600, Tru Turn, some other stuff, awaiting LS1 swap
      71 Duster - all stock, slant 6, automatic. awaiting HEMI/T56 swap
