I have late model chrome bullets on my 66. The adapter is $140 for 4 on ebay, custom made to your specs. Most late model wheels have a 5.72" Backspacing. So, You will need a 1" thick adapter with a 4.5x5" bolt pattern.

black bullets look really good. I have seen them on a late model before.

Just do a search for 'wheel adapters'

If you want bullitts, you can buy them with the correct backspacing for our cars. Look for the 0 mm offset. http://www.performancewheeloutlet.com/detail.asp?pt=180+Series+Bullet
