    For a 50 Caddy. Front brakes have been converted to disk, so I want all new steel rims (5 of them). The cheapest I've been able to find are 75-80 bucks. Any ideas?

    Admittedly I don't know what is special about Caddy rims, but here is a reference chart to just about every bolt pattern out there. I wouldn't think that something suitable would be too hard to interchange.

    What about stock 60's era Caddy wheels? The ones on my '68 are 15" 5 on 5 and I don't think they're any wider than 6 inches. Should be easy enough to find.

    If you want new ones try Bear Metal Kustoms. He is an Alliance vendor.

    You should be able to trip over plain steel 15x6 Caprice station wagon rims and Chevy truck wheels at most wrecking yards. That would be the cheap way to go.
