I would be tempted to say that if you want the car to be right, which I think you do given the tone of your post and your budget, I reckon getting custom made banded steels would be the best option.
I note you have used Jim Hekker's pic, so I assume you have read his experience of banded steels on volvo adventures. This would mean whilst you could just go wider on the rear to fill the arches; to maintain good handling and a standard scrub radius (reducing tramlining and bump steer) you would need double banded wheels on the front, to give increased width but same or similar offset. More pricey but still within your budget by. Add to this you can specify your own colour and coating (paint, powder, enamel). |

Interestingly the 5.5J wheels, whether the wide steels or genuine Minilites (I don't have figures for the copies), match the backspacing rather than the offset, & thus maintain the same inboard clearance as standard. From the reports I have read, the difference in offset compared to standard doesn't seem to be detrimental to the steering either.
