Looking For Some Wheels

This is the situation. I have decided that I would like some wheels to make my ugly old 1st gen. a little less ugly. There are some nice looking wheels out there, but I want this particular design, which I cannot find. I do not know what brand they are, but someone I know used to have a 90 something ford with them, and I never see him to ask him what they were. Anyway, I have been looking through every website that I can think of. So far:

American Racing

American Eagle

Weld

Alcoa

And nothing so far....

If someone can give me a few more wheel manufacturers to check out or maybe a website that sells many different brands of wheels, that would be great.

Thanks for any help.

Well, I have to say that it is original. Thats the first older Dodge that I have ever seen with those kind of wheels. I would like to make a street outfit with my grandpa's old 71 Chevy. That would be ****, especially if I stuck a diesel in there!

Ok, they looked alot like this:

http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=23

This is a very common style, but the wheels that I am looking for do not have perfectly round holes like these. The holes are almost heart-shaped, or something like that, if that is any help. I need the wheels 16X7 or 16X8 size.

I got a set of those on my truck w/ BFG's on them. They cost around $75 a wheel, look great on my rig. The holes are not perfectly round, more like at an oval shaped. When u put them on the truck, run them down w/ an impact or by a bar (which ever one you have). Torque them at 105 ft/lbs & check them after a 100 miles or so. That is what the local tire shop suggested me. Pm me your email & I'll get a pic of what they look like on my truck for u this weekend. Later

Modern makes the aftermarket wheel that I put on my truck (there's a pic in my photo gallery). I got them through Les Schwab Tire Centers here in the west. The solid aluminum wheel means there's no brake dust either....

The round holes are the classic Alcoas. Can't go wrong with them. They're the strongest aluminum wheel on the market. On my Grand Cherokee I have a set of Mickey Thompson wheels. They were made by Alcoa as well. "Hot Forged." I love them. I really like this style on the trucks as well.
