Would like to find somewhere to buy
a 15X7.5 4.75"-bolt pattern, with 4.25 BS.
Does any one sell new steelies made to customer specs,
or even a 15X6 that could be cut & sized for desired BS later?

Wheel vintiques made some custom rims(back space/diameter) for me-I think they make a few styles of steel rims too

I have some factory GM 15x7 steelies with the 5x4.75" bolt pattern. They are made of better steel than the aftermarket versions! I have been buying them when I find them and restoring them to the point where you only have to scuff the primered face and paint the color you want. I sold 2 sets to a Team Chevelle member a few months ago and I am getting ready to do a set for a 70 442 W-30!

I can remember when everyone was looking for station wagon wheels because of the offset. There was a welding shop that would widen them up to 10" wide if you wanted. They did the wheels for the roundy round racers. The guy would get every wagon wheel he could as soon as the junkyards got them in.

Check local junkyards for wheels off mid 80's Caprices and other GM B body cars.

yea they are nice. I have 15x7's on the front and 15x10s on the rear, the rears have 4.5 backspacing. running a 275 x 60 15 on the rear and a 235x60 15 on the front. it was a struggle for the guy to get the tire to mount, the tire machine didn't have enough animal in it to get the tire on the rim.
