THanks Carl, but I want regular old steel wheels not rallys

found them!      here is Link for  Jegs      

 they have 15x7 and 15x8  listed      little pricy with exchange    

I get stuff shipped to Port Huron  and pick up there  so I save shipping and no GST

 

They are very very very rare now  ....

HI ROCHIE : To my massive surprise , I scored a set of 15 x 7 steelies from a mid-eighties S-10 ( dead cheap ) -- Just plain steel , no slots , etc . They were on my car at the August BASH-- Hope this helps -- LATER - DON / Fleet 51

         S10 had  15x7  steel rally rims and 15x7 aluminum  

         but I would bet a case of beverage, that they never used a 15x7 steelie that took dog dish hupcaps on any S10  

         I believe the 15x7 you scored are either 15x6 (measures 7 inch edge to edge) or they were added to the S10 sometime in its life....  just saying

Make them yourself .... find the centers you want (take them from any width 15" GM wheel that meets your requirements) then weld them to any 8 wide "hoop" that works with the dia of the GM centers.

I'm doing just that with some early VW centers (I think they had 4 1/2" wide hoops) and welding them to 6" wide Audi hoops (for a VW dunebuggy). The VW centers fit perfectly inside the Audi stuff.

Reversing a wheel is old school stuff where they drilled out the rivets, flipped the hoop or rim, then reassembled the wheel. What I'm suggesting is similar, only you are finding a pair of 8" wide wheels and changing the center rather than flipping the original around.

If you're looking to go aftermarket, I remember reading that some aftermarket wheels don't accept factory hubcaps.  If you want dog dish caps, you end up having to buy new dog dishes from the wheel manufacturer.

Yep guys,
I did all of that stuff for then 29 all 4 wheels BUT, I thought somebody might have 1 or 2 or 3. And Chips you are correct, the new smoothies will NOT accept dog dish caps. The problem lies in finding centres….most of them are still attached to the hoop they came with, therefore I still have to find 4 rims.

ROCHIE : Back to the S-10 wheels -- I personally removed them from the S-10 -- Which was a " Plain-Jane " 4 cyl , 4 speed , small cab ( cheapie ) , AND I had to remove the little ( stock )dog-dish caps -- AND they measure 7 inches AT THE BEAD !! -- Hope this helps -- LATER -- DON / Fleet 51

         wow     never seen them     I have looked on the internet for years for them    If I could find a number I could order them

 

        I was selling wheels and tires from back in early 60's   

 

       S10 specs call for a 15x7 with P205/75R-15's    but they never list or show a plain wheel    one that would take a dog dish hub cap   

 

      You found a very unusual situation

2 on left are 15x6     2 on right are different offset   might be 15x7        

fronts would be original      

 

 

early S10  were 14 inch

I think most of the base model C10 or gmc 15 used these wheels from the mid 70s to 80s  I think the s10 would be the same

         You are correct   "except"  the full size is  5-5 BC     S10 is  5-4:75

Hey Guys newbe here; I have a 89 GMC suburban 4x4 6on5.5 15in big center hole rime I am looking for 16in wheels . tires are very expensive, I have a set of nearly new 16s on my 93 chevy 2500. can any body tell me for sure what rims would work mike h flathead48

I have found the 15x7 wheels on caprices, some astro vans, and strangely enough - a 85 S10 I had. It had 15x7 rims and was a 2.8l V6, 4 speed, regular cab, shortbox, and had dog dish's on it from the factory. I got snow tires for it and they ended up being 15x7 rims.

I still have at least a pair of them in the shop. I also have a pair of 15x6's. They are all painted marina blue as I put them on the 67' Camaro I had for a while.
