Wheel design - any wheel sluts know if it exists?

The wheel style used on the Lamborghini Countach would look great on a X1/9 in my opinion:

They were 15" and I like 15's on the X. But the Lambo ones were really wide (I doubt you could make big enough flares to cover them) and would be extremely expensive to find and adapt.

Later Lamborghini did a modern version of them, but they are much larger diameter and lack the deep dish. And I think they are too modern looking for the X:

Have any of the aftermarket wheel makers ever made knock-offs or done this style? I don't follow the wheel industry that closely to know if it has. I do recall Centerline made some similar ones with the five round holes on a flat center, but they did not look nearly as good as the early Lambo's:

I'm sure some of our wheel affectionados might know what's out there.
 
Nice find Odie. I wonder if there are more affordable versions with a similar style (but not necessarily identical copy of Lambo's) from some of the common aftermarket wheel makers. Especially in other sizes that might be a better fit for the X.

This one shows pretty much any size and also offers 4 stud pcd.

Oddly the two piece assembly (red arrow) doesn't look nearly as good as the Lambo's one piece. This one kind of reminds me of the Centerline wheel I pictured earlier.

Agreed but it doesn’t look too bad and they will do it in 15” sizes

to me the bigger part was the 4 PCD. even if they dont do 4x98, a 4 to 4 adapter is easier to find than a 4x5. I am guessing that they do 4x98 and probably any hub size you want. seeing that they off 3 pcd, tells me they custom do then at time of purchase.

When I saw the available options, with 3 studs possible, I thought of the Smart car. Picture these on that car in the available size of 20" diameter and 16" wide. Euro donk? :D
 
FYI.... lambo copies that I asked for quotes. mine are currently 15x8 but I would like to have an extra inch for the 245/40 on the rear.
