"Plain" GM 15X8 steel wheels?
Does anyone know of a source for plain (i.e. non-rally and non-"smoothie"
 15X8 GM steel wheels with a 4.75"-5" backspacing? The closest thing I've found is by Wheel Vintiques but the appropriate size/backspacing is only available in various Rally forms. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] If this fails, any recommendations where to go for widening and altering an OEM rim to spec?

Re: "Plain" GM 15X8 steel wheels?
Anybody can modify a 'regular' wheel. Take the center from a 15x 6 or 7...drill out the factory spotwelds. Take either a 15x8 rally or truck wheel [six lug and usually cheaper] and do the same..
take the center from the narrow wheel and weld it into the wider rim. True it up first on a spin balancer I've done it a couple times...any body shop or mechanic can pull it off if you don't want do. $150 labor seems like enough.
