You can get a set of wheels with fully customized dimensions - down to the lug nut seat angle - from various firms; Fiske comes immediately to mind; Kodiak Motorsports, too. (Fiske rims were run on the Le Mans victor in GT class this year.) The cost would be around $500+ each. The rims are modular so you can recoup some of their cost if you decide to sell them at some point. Obviously, the center portion will only be of value to someone whose bolt pattern, center bore, etc. are the same/similar.
Could also buy rims with correct ET, smaller or equivalent centerbore, and incompatible bolt pattern. Then have a fab shop fill the holes & re-drill to the proper pattern/centerbore.
Or buy rims with correct dimensions except for ET and have a shop weld up the hub faces with material to adjust to required distance.
I have seen rims with all the proper dimensions except for bolt pattern re-drilled between the original holes. Done by a machine shop. Lots of rims are sold with dual bolt patterns; why not DIY your own...
