The high end companies such as CCW, IFroged, Bonspeed that make custom spaced wheels can do those type of wheels, but they ain't cheap.
A cheaper option is powder coating or painting wheels you know will fit (theres not many out there though).

Yeah, I know they're ghetto. 
I'm not talking about that wheel in particular. I'm talking about a wheel that is black on the spokes and polished on the rim. Something more like the C5 wheels that have black centers.

My brother has these exact rims on his firebird formula and they do look very nice on a black car but they are more of a gunmetal gray...not black. But very nice none the less.

I have a feeling you may need a small spacer to get it to 4" backspace.

I think that's Paul's Vette. He sold his '79. GSC3 & GordonM also painted Their spokes. I've been thinking about painting mine.

I had a pair made by Boze. I ordered the ZEforged 3 peice set for $3308 to include Nitto tires and shipping ($200). I went with a polished look but there are about 12 different finishes to go choose from. Here is what I bought:
You could go with their regular line of wheels and cheaper tires and save some big bucks. You might like this one:
Go to http://www.zeforged.com for thier website. They'll custom make any offset in quarter inch increments and make the custom mounting surface offset to clear your massive front brakes.
