Default 20" wheels for a C3?

I'm wanting to put some new wheels on my C3 vette, preferably 20" but I am having a hard time find wheels with a low enough offset to fit. Any one know where to find wheels that will fit?

Inmvho tire sidewalls are part of the suspension. Be careful with such a radical mod. I had a '68 coupe with many mods. L79, 4.11, headers. Most of the mods brought regrets, especially nonreversable body mods. I beat that car like a red headed stepchild. I sure would love to have it back now in stock form. A buddy from back then still has his stock '68 427 roadster. His Vette is to drool for.

I would go with the Foose Nitrous wheels. I love those things, even better than the torque 2's
