I have Disc brakes all the way around with the Porsche pattern. Is there such a thing as smoothies for this pattern? Any oter wheel will fit this pattern besides the normal Porsche wheels?

There are smoothie steel 5x 130 Porsche wheels that came originally with a collapsible spare tire (928, others?), I can't remember if they are 15 or 16", but no real way to mount a hubcap I don't think, but maybe you could figure that one out.

Possible dumb question but wouldn't smoothies prevent air from cooling the disc brakes as well?
