Need t500 or GT750 wheels for red stripe tire experiment

My wheel lacer has an old side wall lathe and may be able to recreate red or gold stripe tires like you see in this 1971 T500 advertisement, I cannot tell, anyone know for sure? I'm looking for a set of front and rear wheels that I can modify to fit the lathe to use as jigs. I will knock the wheel bearings out and machine the hubs to fit the wheel lathe center. Anyone have a true set of wheels they want to part with? I will pay for them of course and the shipping. If anything comes out of this I will post pictures and make the resource available to everyone here. He has done 100's of car tires with good results over the years.

Thank you!

I have this set from a 79 GS550LN hanging from the rafers in my garage. Wheel sizes are 1.85x19 front and 2.15x18 rear. I bought these off ebay for a project but wound up not using them. As far as I know, they are true. Mags might even be better for multiple tire mounts. $50 + shipping and boxing. PM me if interested.
Does anyone know is UPS or FedEx will ship a bare wheel?
