Default Larger "factory" wheels?

Since I have to get wheels for my project anyway, I was thinking about this style, because I really like them.

My question is, does anyone know if anyone makes them larger than 15x8?

Nothing is available "off the rack", BUT we did have some pictures here a while back where someone had a custom set made. He used the GM wheels for centers and had wider rims attached. Looked cool but I am sure it was not inexpensive.

G. Daina has some nice wider than stock knock-offs. Have you considered those? They look sweet on his ride. Only 8" wide but still have that factory look.

-Mark.

Somebody from Australia, I think, had a custom set made a couple of years ago. As far as I know nothing is available commercially. Will try to find a reference if I kept a copy of the posting.
