knock off wire wheel trouble

I would like to switch to something like a halibrand style knock off however I have metric knock off Dayton wire wheels with zero backspacing! I can't find anything to replace these 60 spoke 15.3 inch buggers. Any ideas... I would love to hear anything.

Nester,

What do you mean by zero backspacing? Is the mounting face of the wheel even with the inside rim edge?

Perhaps he means zero offset, not backspace... JMHO

you see the problem is that they are spline driven wheels and the hub is set way back underneath the car. Any adapters wont work because the spline actually comes out all the way to the outer edge of the fender well. I am really frustrated with this one.
