I really thought a mesh wheel would look great on our car, like,

Karl, the owner of Sevas wheels happens to be a very close friend of mine, but none of his wheels fit our cars bolt pattern. It would be great if they did, because I get his wheels at his actual cost. I have a set of 22's on my truck.
Does anyone know any wheel manufacturers that make a similar pattern that fit our car?

the bolt pattern is only one aspect of wheel fitment. the center opening should be sized to fit the hub of the vehicle. the studs and nuts don't carry the load the hub does and if it fits loosely like many DUBs do they will continually need the torque checked. I know this doesn't appear on your car but over the past few years i have seen over a half dozen improperly fitted wheels come off. latest was on a Donk that had spacer that appeared to be three inches thick to make the Hot Wheels fit.

I've seen pictures of these wheels on Chevelles in my Good Guys monthly and in advertisements. I have bookmarked them for reference, but I have not yet looked at the bolt pattern, BS, etc. so I have no idea of what the owners may have done to make fit (mods or 1 off customs)
Damn expensive though from what i remember poking around at similar wheels...$900 each (not 1 off).

Boze wheels makes a 2 piece and 3 piece mesh wheel. Nice stuff and be prepared to lay some $$$$. We are a dealer for them and 2 piece 17x7 start at $550 and go up.

They have been bought out by Lexani (bling wheel mfg) and recently have turned down guys who have older Kinesis wheels that they want rehooped / backspace adjustments on.
With that lack of service I wouldn't buy from them anymore. About 3 years ago when they were still independent and had excellent customer service I almost bought a set of K18s... glad I didn't now.
You might want to consider a set of CCW Classics. A set is still on my "to buy" list.
