1964 GMC SWB Fleetside Need Ideas for Wheels

My dad and I have recently been talking about getting some new wheels for his 1964 GMC. We have had this truck since my sophmore year of high school and it has always had the same alumium shot gun wheels since we got it. Now Dad is thinking about changing it to more stock looking wheels. He wants to color match them to the stock baby blue of his truck and be able to run baby moon caps and trim rings with them. I know I could probaly find some used stock ones for it but I have had wheels break and fall out so I would perfer new ones. Where can I find such wheels for a reasonable price (less than $100 and wheel)?

We really like the stuff wheel vintiques has. They are actually where he got the idea. The problem is that they are pretty expensive. I looked at summit but I didn't see any that looked like they would work with hubcaps.

Thanks for the specs. I think this is the way we will go.
