Default Suggestions on wheels like this

I was suggested to post this in the wheels section.

What I am looking for is preferably a chrome plated wheel,
Requirements;
Tri bar spinner
18 x 8 front sizing with a backspacing available of about 4.9" - 5.1"

I'm after a classic look.

Right now I have a heavily customized (welded, hub shaved) front wheel 17" x 8"
If I go to 18" x 8" I can possibly go to a deeper backspacing which will clear the UCA's and tie rod ends, giving me the ability to run a wider tire.

The American Racing 427 wheels are great but do not have a deep enough front backspacing available.

I found these, available in 18" diameter custom backspacing;


Made in England, but the reviews on the company are not great. Customer service is not stellar and a few guys have reported wheels being shipped with an incorrect backspacing.

Most similar cobra wheels come in a maximum 17" diameter, so I seem to be stuck again.

I'd even look at a custom one-off type billet wheel.

Any suggestions?
