I didnt even know MPC sold 1/16 versions.  I got the smaller one but nothing for the 1/16.

I've heard of people buying a Corvette kit just for the wheels of their custom General Lee model. Although I think those were mostly from Revell.

It may be a lot of work, but you could try making a mold from one of the other wheels and casting a resin replacement. I found a couple of "how to" guides here and here.
