15x8 or 15x7 steel wheels 5x5 bolt pattern?
Did Chevy make steel four nub style wheels in 15x8 or 15x7 5x5 bolt pattern? Just something that can be painted white and a small cap installed. I know some folks have done this with rally style wheels, but that isn't the style I want.
Not wanting to pay aftermarket prices, hoping there is such thing in a factory style I can be on the look out for.

B-body wagons (impala, caprice, etc) have 5x5 and 15x7. Might need to massage the hub bore slightly depending on year.
These will be the most recent, you can also look for 1972-1976 Delta 88's and other big cars, search www.car-parts.com for inventory.

The factory made only one 15" wheel for these trucks @ 6". There were larger sized same style wheels available from Kelsey-Hayes and maybe others. I have a set of 5 on 5 15 x 8s I powder coated red many years ago, yet to use. Wheel Vintiques, and now others, sell the wider 15s in OEM style (known as steelies) these days.

Factory (Kelsey Hayes) 15x8 5x5 bolt pattern wheels are extremely rare. I've been parting out 67-72's and buying and selling parts since 96 and I have only ever had 4 of them.

I can get 15x7's from Summit but man at 150 bucks per wheel plain ol steel is just too much.

I bought these over the summer. Not sure if you can tell they're factory from the stamping. Not for sale, just adding info.

Re: 15x8 or 15x7 steel wheels 5x5 bolt pattern?
Ive done the Craigslist and Offer Up search on these locally. Shipping kills any deal from a private party.
I dont do Facebook, but my brother lives on it, I should ask him to do a search there for me.

Re: 15x8 or 15x7 steel wheels 5x5 bolt pattern?
Those 7" wheels must be pretty rare. I never knew of them. Maybe those are the '90s fullsize GM car wheel. Traditionally, truck wheels jumped 2" between sizes, 6", 8", 10", 12". I guess the repro wheels shot up in price. When I bought my 8-lug 16 x 8s they were $125 and I got them on sale at 25% less, so $375 for the set. That price on the 15 x 7s Willowwrun got was a steal. You can expect to pay $50-$75 for a stock 6" wheel and the 6-lug GM 8 x 15s run no less that $100@. The factory never offered an 8" 5-lug wheel, but Kelsey-Hayes sold them aftermarket and those are rare to find. I have the only set I've seen in decades. I bought mine about 15 years ago from Uncle. Might have to bite the bullet and buy repros. Might get lucky finding them on sale. Might find someone selling theirs second hand

Re: 15x8 or 15x7 steel wheels 5x5 bolt pattern?
Not sure what Im going to do yet. I do have a stock set saved, but would really rather have 7's not 6's or 8's. Couple of my local buddies are telling me to run Rally style and one of em even offered up a set for free, not really the look I want. Not in a super hurry, Im picking away at the few thing as I plug along.
