Technical Source for 15” steel Chevy wheels

I am in need of some 15” Chevy 5 on 4.75 wheels. Preferably thin. Would like a 15 x 4 but will settle for a 15 x 5. These need to accept the “outie” style hubcaps. Can’t seem to find anything locally.

 

not many original 54-56 chevy car wheels around these days, are there?

I have a couple, but I'm keeping them

you can buy new ones that are close, but they're not in stock, apparently.

Right, I was just clicking around, seems like a saw a wheel site similar with a large amount of factory replacement wheels.

 

I haven't listed mine but I told olskool I have 4 54 Chevy nice ones.

 

I did but I am not driving to Pennsylvania for two wheels, I was hoping I could find some closer.

 

Fed Ex is your friend. LOL

 

His post says pick up only

 

4” wide are only available in the disc brake slotted style as I’ve found... there are even 3” wides. The Miller tire co. sells outer rims if you want to make them. If you have the centers it’s not hard.

 

Back in June Covid had Wheel Vintiques up side down and nothing was coming out of there other than what remained. Maybe it's different now?

If I could find original 15 5's via the classifieds OP should as well.

 

California is a hell whole to find stuff from salvagers. But that's another story.

 

Yep, and so much stuff went to scrap during the high prices years ago, what was it, 350-400 a ton?

 

I sold a pair of "55" 15" wheels some years back for $50, threw in the studded bias ply snow tires.

 

I have steel wheels on order from Wheel Smith for a customers '40 LaSalle and they told me up front 10 weeks ago that it could be 8 or more weeks because of the steel suppliers being shut down by California. So we just wait.
It has been like this since this Covid crap started.

 

I have 5 really nice 15X5's that I took off my 54 Chevy if anyone is interested. PM me. Slug

I'm reading that 53 are different than 54(?) and that 54-56 are the same. This much I do know for a fact. Mid 56 and up 15" wheels do not have rivets. I'm speaking only to non Corvette wheels.

 

The ones I have have rivets and three bumps on the outside of the center raised area for retaining the small dog dish style hub cap. They are the originals that came on my 54. Still have the matching blue paint in the tire mounting area that matched the original blue exterior paint of the car. Slug

 

i think the 4 very small bumps on the outer wheel, not the center, to hold full size hubcaps on started in 55

 

Corvettes had the same wheel as the 54-57 cars...or so I remember. I see a lot of ads for wheels that are being passed off as them but the centers are wrong. They are becoming hard to find and expensive to ship.
