American Racing Wheels sells two kinds in small bolt pattern now: http://www.americanracing.com/appguide/ ... p&car=258_

Stockton wheel will take any stock Mopar 5x4" wheel you want and widen it however you like: http://www.stocktonwheel.com/

You can get Chrysler Rallye wheels from Wheel Vintiques wheels though Summit Racing in several sizes in the small bolt pattern: http://store.summitracing.com/default.a ... search.asp

Additionally, many wheel makers will make wheels in whatever size and bolt pattern you want, as long as you show the $ green.

Personally, I'd like some Minilites ( http://www.minilitewheels.com/ ) the next time I am shopping for wheels, but I'd probably change to 5x4.5" bolt pattern to make it easier next time. I wonder if they'd make a set of Minilites in small bolt pattern...

Oh, and if you keep checking at swap meets you can find some small bolt pattern "aluminum slot" wheels or even old small bolt Keystone Klassics.

Some more sources for 5x4 wheels:

Diamond Racing - cheap steel stock car style wheels.

http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/

Forgeline - extremely expensive, but can be had in virtually any bolt pattern imaginable as they are machined to order.

What i'm going for on Val is a set of "knock off" wire wheels. The wheels themselves aren't drilled, but have adaptors behind them that attach to the bolts. The wheels then bolt to these adaptors using a "Spinner" type thing, and to take them off you hit the spinner with as small hammer, hence, "knock off wheel."
Most manufacturers have universal 5 bolt adaptors, and if they don't I can't imagine a few minutes on a metal lathe making one would cost a fortune, especially if you can do it yourself. Plus, they look absolutely bitchin.
Check it:

Easy, no?
