Anybody aware of a manufacturer that has the larger mags that will fit the 15in mounts we have?  Thanks Ken

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe

There are a lot of them out there.  I found the 16" wheels for "The Toy" on eBay but most any tire shop would be able to give you some options.  Wheel options can also be found in the major parts suppliers catalogs also.

The main things to keep in mind, besides bolt pattern, are the wheel width and offset numbers.

As usual you give great advice - can you give me some indication of the kind of numbers I should be looking at - or how to calculate what I have to work with?  Normally I would just take RUCRUZIN over to a wheel shop but it's winter hetre in Michigan and I decided to start chroming the under belly.
 
Thanks - ken
