Thought I'd add another option. These guys custom work wheels as well as has custom sized Olds wheels.
The site says made in America!

I've spoke with them and they were helpful and professional, however I have never bought from them.

widest wheel and what offset for 1968 cutlass

Hello Guys,


Just wondering if anyone knew firsthand what width wheel FOR 15" DIAMETER and offset to give a nice look that fits under the car?

I know this is an older thread, but wondering if My442 got his factory 14x7 SS-1wheels upgraded to 15x7? I am looking to do the same.

Also, Stockton Wheels is back in business. They use a new 15" rim with the original center that supposedly will accept a trim ring, but need to confirm the new replacement rim will definitely accept a factory 15x7 trim ring since I do not want the all chrome style SS-1 wheel.

I did get the 14" SS1 wheels re-hooped to 15".

Rally America in california did them...came out great.

Went with 15 x 8 in the back and 15 x 7 in the front.

That looks interesting. It's like a performance wheel made by the factory. I wonder what they would look like in the chromed no trim ring look.

I'm 12 miles away from Stockton wheel I have not seen it listed. I get mine done in LA,Ca. for around $70 but must use a 68 to 73 rim. The SS 1 don't come out right they are not centered when welded but SS 11 are good.

Getting Hard to find 15" Found a set of 5 in a Hartford Ct small Junkyard. Still had aluminum inserts the all the wheels. They looked like crap but with a thorough cleaning and 2 coats primer, three coats paint and 2 coats clear, they look brand new. Bought for $125, bought good used centers and new trim rings and they now look like new factory. Everybody admires them vs the mags I had on . A real touch of class

Call junkyards , they are out there!!!!!
