BUILD THREAD 83 wagon build

[Longroof79]

Now to continue the search for 15 inch steel rims

Look for '70's -'80's B-body cars, That was pretty much the source for my 15" steelies. They came in 15 x 6 and 15 x 7. I was fortunate to find the 15 x 7's.
There's a code stamped in near the valve opening. Make sure they're 4.75 x 5 bolt pattern. Some B-body models are a 5 x 5 bolt pattern. It might be the later years. . Here's a list of vehicles to look out for.
'76-'90 Chevy Caprices
'82-'86 Pontiac Parisennes
'76-'81 Buick Century
'82-'85 Buick Estate wagon
The wheel codes are AE, FN, and TJ.

This was information courtesy of Turna some years back.

I have an '84 Monte SS with the stock steelie 15x7's. I'll be unloading these wheels sometime in the next year.

You can find original's if you wat but these aren't hard wheels to find.

You're welcome, man. I know I should've also mentioned B-body Oldsmobiles as well...like 88's. 98's.

Jim,
Those are the styled wheels that take a trim ring, correct?

 

[64nailhead]

Yes - I have the rings as well.
