at the very minimum, the welds on those struts will need to be crack tested.

Could get some custom centre made. Just take a pattern you like to Royce Clive engineering or someone similar. Cheap as chips too. Had to get some custom 15x6 made for work. Was around 200 for a whole wheel so a centre should be at least half that.
This guy did it with this Cressida. (Steel)
