I recently purchased what looked like great set of 442 rallys. But, when they arrived, I noticed they are 14 inch. I thought the 442 rallys were all 15 inch. Can someone clarify?

In the 80s, SSIII in chrome were also available in 14 x 6 size for Cutlass. As well as 15 x 7 for VIN 9 H/O and 442. The center section was the exact same. The hoop was the only difference.

I think they also made 15 x 7 SSII painted wheels for deltas, and also some "SSII and 1/2" (what I call them) where they were chrome centers with painted hoops which took a trim ring. I THINK. I'm so old I may be misremembering. See pic below. I think those were chromed centers with a fat center cap and trim rings on painted hoops. If it wasn't on an H/O or 442, I didn't keep up with all the possible combos.
