Default Direct Fit Wheels???

Where can I find direct fit custom wheels for my '74? I want to change the wheels but I just don't want to use spacers. Corvette Central sells the ZR1 direct fit style shown here.They just dont carry different styles to choose from..If anyone has a set like these on their C3 can you please post a photo?..
