need roller wheels for my SC

Hey guys, I'm restoring my 78 SC and my question is... Does anyone know what kind of wheels I could use as body shop rollers? I need to have my custom wheels to work on while the car is being painted.
Any help is appreciated.

Porsche uses a unique bolt pattern, so only Porsche specific wheels will work.

There are most likely pelicanheads close to you that have extra wheels laying around in garages. You may be able to borrow a set of old Cookie Cutters or Phone Dials or something.

If you look around, a set of Cookies can be had for $200 or so, and at the end of your project, you can sell them again for the same 200 bucks.
