Default 15x7 Steel Wheel -- Where to start...

I want to add 15" steel wheels to my 68 RS/SS but am only finding 14" steelies. Does anyone have any advice on where to look for 15x7 steel wheels?

I found one on a 1973 Chevelle in the salvage yard but the rim was bent. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Brent

I'm not sure why they always show them with a hub cap on them, but I believe these are what you're looking for. I purchased a set of 14x7s and they look nice. Plus you can't beat Summit's shipping cost.

Look for 70s Monte Wheels or Station wagons.

A member here (C1SS396) has 15x7's on his 66 Chevelle. I think they came from an early 80's impala. They look great.

The hole in the center of the repro wheel is much larger than the hole in the center of an original wheel. That may be the reason they are always pictured with caps.
