Default Retro style wheels for my '03 GT

From what I gather, GT's have different requirements for what wheels can be used due to the calipers on them. I hate the stock full chrome wheels on it, and Im trying to decide what to replace them with. Id like a 7 or even 8 inch width, at least a little lip and depth to them but not so extreme that I destroy my wheel bearings. Also, I really hate the big diameter 'DUB' look, so Id like to keep the diameter at 17", 16" if it'll work since I know 15's are prolly outta the question.

I really like the look of the mag style muscle car and hot rod wheels from the '60's and '70's so I want something along the lines of a torq thrust, magnum, or cragar SS. Anyone know of where I can find some old skool looking wheels that'll work on my cruiser? I know owners of new beetles have a newer version of the classic BRMs available. And Ive been eyeballing the bullit wheels from newer mustangs since the bolt circle should be the same and theyre a 17" higer offset but with an old school look. Any suggestions? The only way Im going to go with a more modern style wheel is a BBS type wheel with the black centers and polished lip, but I really want mags!
