    All:

    Can someone PLEASE tell me the size of the factory 70-72 Skylark steel (non ralleye) wheel?

    I need the biggest steel wheel I can find that will fit that bolt pattern. It is my understanding, the fullsize cars have a bigger bolt pattern spread.

    Thanks in advance:Do No:

    The biggest wheel would be 15x8. Same wheel as found on Corvettes. You can buy repro Corvette wheels for $40-50 each.
    Maybe someone else can suggest a cheaper source.

    Station wagon wheels, weren't they 15". You can also probably get Specialty Wheel of Wheel Vintiques to make you something for about $50 a wheel.

    I thought the factory GS steel wheel was 15x7?
