Default Which Manufacturer makes a 17x9.5 rim for my C3?

I'm hoping to mount a 17x9 or 9.5 wheel on my '74 .
and 275/40 Kumho 712 tire

Any suggestions for a manufacturer and model of tire that will look good on the C3?

Someone had a Boyd signiture rim that looked great. I'd love to see more options./
Thanks

The fronts in this picture were 17X9.5 with 5.5 bs and a 1 inch spacer. After the front tires and one rim failed I bought 19X9 4.5 bs with a spacer in the same look. to match the rears.

The wheels on my 74 are from Centerline. They are 17x9.5 with a 5" backspace and one 3/8 spacer all the way around. We test fit them on a friends 80 and the front got away with no spacer but the rear needs one to clear the caliper. Longer studs are a necessity, espically on the rear.
