Does anyone know of a place that might have discontinued Centerline wheels? I have checked out every website that I can find and keep coming up empty. I have even searched sites that list used and reconditioned wheels. Seems that what I am looking for is just not out there. I have done a search on Ebay every day for the past 6 months and only found one set. The problem was that they were 15" X 4" and I thought they would be to narrow for the rear (I am running a pretty hot 454).I even listed on this site in the "Wanted" section and have had no responses. I am looking for a place that I can get (2) 15" X 8" or 15 X 10 or 15 x 7 or 15 X whatever,Centerline Champ 500 wheels. These are to go on the back of my 70 SS. I have two on the front and love the look of the Champ 500. Maybe someone still makes a copy?? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would certainly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

You may want to contact Centerline. They may have some left overs. I found this under their Wheel Deals section:

Thanks Andrew. I took a look and unfortunatly that was a 14" wheel. They did not list any other Champ 500 wheels. I did send them an email, so maybe they can help me out. Thanks again for your help.

Yah..I saw that they were 14s, but I figure its worth a try to contact that. Never know what they may have laying around collecting dust. Good luck on your search.

Google search showed this place:

They also had these eagle knock-offs:

Thanks for the help guy's.
Andrew...I got a reply from Centerline. They only have 14x6 polished left in stock. I have seen a couple of places that have polished but I forgot to mention that I need the dull finish.

ACE...I checked out that site and looked at the American Eagle's. They look pretty close. If I cannot find the one I am looking for I may just go with a new set of those. Probably 15x6 on the front and 15x8 on the back. Do you think the 15x10's would fit on the back? I would like to get as much rubber on the ground as possible, as the car is pumping out a fair amount of HP and traction will probably be a issue.

Thanks again for everyone's help. I tried to post a question here once before and did not get any responses. I figured since I was new that I wouldn't get much help, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks
