big shiney brakes wanted

Im building a custom bug for a chopper guy and he wants some enormous brakes but also extremely flashy. Its a 58 vert bug with 17x7.7 cup 3's and 18 or 19x 10's in back. I want to use something like jamar brakes because they are aluminum and have the look he wants. Only problem is the centers that bolt to the rotor are too wide and wouldnt allow me to drill a porsche pattern in them. CNCs aluminum stuff is do-able but looks alot cheaper and not as big. THe pan is a link pin pan and i would like to stick with the beam i have because ive already bought it from franklin's and the guy had already bought drop spindles and what not. For the rear i can order some jamar 4 lug blanks and they will work since i have to space the wheel out so far i have room for adapters- but has anyone figured out a way to run a 17x7 cup wheel with jamar brakes in the front? Or is there any "bling bling " brake set-ups that im overlooking? thanks in advance

depending on the budget you could go with big reds or GT3 (6 pot) brakes. or if you really want overkill there are the Cayenne brakes.

there should be plenty of aftermarket options. i am just not aware of how do-able they are.
