You can get Wheel Vintiques at Jegs or Summit with free shipping. They are a quality wheel company. You could get 10" if you want to keep the same look.

Re: 16 x8 or style wheels

Stockton is suppose to have new owners but they will only put your centers in new rims. Somebody here posted that. Looks like wheel smith has org rims.
