Check the PCD chart, in the Motors section of the main site, for a list of suitable wheels.

I drill my own wheels using a drill jig I machined from a block of Alluminium, I tend to use Ford as theres usually plenty of them available, and they usually have sufficient "meat" to re-drill. The type of Jig is shown below with the location mandrel I use. you need a reasonable pillar or bench drill to take the wheel to be "operated" on of course! morrag
