1971 GMC 1500 5-lug wheel options: turbine rims?

My 71 has 5 lug nuts. I'd like to find some "turbine" rims, also called hurricane rims. Looks kinda like a jet engine... I need some help, as I don't want to deal with back spacing or off-set issues. I don't want polished or flashy rims, as I don't want to spend Saturdays with a toothbrush keeping the things shiny and clean. Brushed aluminum is hard to beat! Now, where can I find them, what do I look for as far as thread pitch, lug lenght or off set or all that other technical stuff? I just want to buy some new tires, have them mounted on these kind of rims, balance them, and drive away!

Thanks for the help!

This is what I am thinking of...what do you think?

Will these be too small for a full-size truck? I can move up to 8 rims, but I have factory 7" rims now...
Thanks!
