befordcrazy  is right they are the classic dragway 5 spoke. Dragway is an Australian company
so I doubt
a/  you could get them in the uk
b/ you could get them in a stud pattern to suit ( as being aussie they make for aussie cars/stud patterns + I reckon the shipping would SUCK!
If you like it do it, If you like it a lot do it a lot!

dragways are the best full stop.

apparently kim (kimbosound) was the first bloke to get a set of dragway mags with bedford stud pattern. ask him how much they cost back then ha ha..
the dragways on the black beddy are beddy stud pattern. but are quite rare to find these days but im sure if you kept an eye on ebay for a few years there would be a set come up. or i could give you the number for the bloke i sold those rims to able.. actually looks like he is coming to the run next week. you may get to meet him:)

but you can easily get them off ebay for hq - wb stud pattern.. just be careful when buying them..  there are 2 makes of dragways that look almost exactly the same. and many different offsets. so work out what you need first. i have been sold 1 of each as a pair. people

you will notice the difference between offsets on the 2 yellow peril vans.. one has flares one doesnt need it..

heres a few vans with dragways that come to mind:)

another tip..

the centre is alloy. the outside is chrome. they almost always have rust forming on the outside. sellers quite oftern say they will clean up ok. that means they have rust on them.. try get ones with no rust on them. cause as soon as they start rusting you cant stop it, its broken through the chrome and then its like bare metal even if you can scratch them off with steel wool.

ebay the best for them.
feel free to email me an add for a second opinion.

cheers
ben
