All that you have to do is measure your bolt pattern and hub size, then go shopping at the scrap yards. If you want a new one, any tire shop will help you. You can also check out on-line catalogues by visiting rim manufacturer websites such as Cragar.

Assuming you are a bit uncertain working out the stud pattern and if your preferred supplier is local go for a visit and take the hub with you. The supplier will be able to take all the measurements needed and this way you will get the right rims.
 
Good advice, Engineroom. It removes the possibility of measurement errors, which are all too easy to make. :approve:
