    Who makes a decent, cheap steelies replica? My 57 150 was a plain Jane single tone (colonial cream I think) with colour matched steelies and radio delete. I’d like to put steelies back on. I know some of y’all love the colour but I hate it so, so much lol.

  2. The correct steel wheels for your 57 150 were 14" and had no vent windows ....very specific to the 150 and 210 series .

    Did the Belair come with the vents?

    Yeah I’ve got front disks so I’m gonna need vents.

    I just put steelies back on my 57 "window" delivery.
    I went with used 15 x 6 rears and new 15 x 5 fronts. Bought the new 15 x 5 from Jegs.
    New 57 dog dish caps.

    They look like 5 x 5 GM big car wheels with the vents being straight like that...

    Some disc brakes won't clear any 14" wheel, and some will fit in a 14 but it has to have the right offset. There are 15" wheels that would take the '57 dog dish style hubcap but the original wheels were 14". Your new brakes are going to be the determining factor as to what fits.
