Anyone know where I can find these wheels?

I think they're Western Bullet style. 14" x 6", Chevrolet bolt pattern.

Quick google turned up a set of 15".

I've yet to figure out how to put a 15" wheel on a 14" mount. Thanks, though!

As long as the bolt pattern is the same and front/rear clearances are good, there's no problem. Just need new tires. I've always swapped around sizes. Going down in size would be a problem to clear brakes and stuff. those are even made for the cho cho edition of the elkie.

What about speedometer/odometer accuracy?

Your speedo/odometer will read a little off, but you can get the right plastic gear for your trans pretty easy, or go to a lower profile tire to get the approximate original height.

They look awesome for the price. You can buy bowtie stickers for the center if you want to.... Check into the shipping cost though. :ohnoes:

Finding nice 15" performance tires for my vette is very limited. I would think it will be tougher sticking to a 14" wheel.

Go to tirerack.com and find the circumference of your 14" tire size. Find a close match in similar width 15" size :yesnod:

Tire rack's size guide makes it so much easier than old days of mathematics:hurray:

You also need to know what lug nuts they use. A lot of later G-Body wheels use the metric tapered lug. When I swapped 87 Monte SS wheels on my 81 Malibu, I had to change the studs and lug nuts as the standard lugs had a different seat taper.
