[F500] Tire Straps - From Who?

Hi guys -

OK, I have Clint McMahans' autocross car, a battery, a gas can on order,
oil, mixing cup, chargers for both on-board and starter batteries, jack-up
stand.  I am buying a trailer tomorrow (Friday).  A Pace - gorgeous
trailer, one of the nicest I have seen (and I saw some beauties in Peru
this last weekend).  Polished stainless steel 3 feet up the sides,
beavertail, reduced height, and a ramp that makes nearly a flat shot before
you crank up the tongue, for just a bit more than a Home Depot special.  On
the lot!

So I figure that the EASIEST way to tow is to strap over the left rear and
front right tires.  I was at Great Northern today, and they had a nice
over-the-tire strap/net setup, with ratchet, but the darned thing was six
feet long.  Too big to fit over my tires, which I measure at 17" diameter. 
Isn't it?

I have searched the internet, to no avail.  I ordered the gas can and
several other parts from Pegasus, but they have no such straps.

Any ideas where I can get them?  I _want_ to tow to the next event, which
is next weekend, here in Atlanta.  I will be gone Sat and Sun, parents'
50th.

I want to drape the straps, then have recessed D-rings installed as
appropriate.

Thanks!
