18" or 20" 8 lug OEM looking steel wheels?

Hi,

has anyone heard of 18" or 20" 8lug steel wheels that look like the old 16" OEM wheels? And possibly even work with the stock old hub caps? Iīm trying to keep the vintage theme as much as possible, but need larger wheels due to my big brakes.

Iīve seen Centerline Smoothies converted to accep the OEM hub caps and it looks nice. Iīm just concerned, that if I really use the truck and the brakes, that the fully closed wheel might cause the brakes to overheat. Some little slots like the OEM steelies had would be enough, just a little to get air in.

I tried everything online, but couldnīt find anything! The new OEM steel wheels look too modern for my taste. (and the 17" stock Dodge steel wheel doesnīt fit, already tried that).
