Peter Klutt I think has them. Not cheap but worth the $

Awesome car!
Thanks guys for the compliments..

Mine were actually made by Rocket Racing Wheels - :

Rocket Racing Wheels | Rocket Sunburst Hypershot | Free Shipping From Selected Rocket Dealers!

For reference- I ordered the 15x8's with -19mm offset, which means my backspacing is 3.75 inch, with 4.25 inch frontspacing. The tires in the photos above are the "typical" 295/50 rears, and 235/60 fronts that most guys are running these days.

Note: These are not pin drive wheels - They are actually 5 lug (the lug nuts are black anodized, and hidden inside the little triangle shaped slots in the center turbine section. They require special splined lug nuts, which you have to order separately. You also have to order the special lug nut tool, and the knock-off style center caps separate.

Because the original Sunburst had 10 spokes, these wheels are machined to fit 2 bolt patterns: 5 on 4-1/2, as well as 5 on 4-3/4.

If your car uses Pin drive/ true knock off spindles, then you probably need to go down the Peter Klutt path for a set of his true replica Sunbursts...

I ordered mine through SummitRacing:
