15" OEM wheels 65-66 A body

Looking for 65-66 OEM 15" plain steel wheels as offered on the Olds A body.

I'd like a set of 5 but will buy singles.

Thanks, Henry

did not know there was such and animal. did find some R code 442 14in wheels on a 66 jetstar 88 so i guess anything is possible. the jetstare wheels are slightly different then the oem ones on my 66 442.
they have quarter inch drill holes around the hub that would be covered by poverty caps. Any ideas Henry? oh I have pleny of 15 steel wheels that take povery caps and clear disk brakes from 83 - 87 cars but you most likely have no interest in those.

Most of my R code wheels do have 2 small holes drilled near the bolt circle. I do have a couple that don't. May had been an assembly plant variation. The Jetstar 88 did receive 14X6 4 3/4 inch wheels as standard equipment.

I have no doubt that I have at least 250 or so of generic GM 15" 4 3/4 bolt pattern wheels so no I'm not looking for those.

Isn't about time for you to change out to some 17's or 22's or what ever? At which point you could sell me your existing wheels!

Thanks, Henry

Thanks for posting pics of your wheels.

I see there must be two distinct style of 15" wheels offered on these cars. I've purchased a solitary 15x6" wheel like yours but does not have a letter code by valve stem, does have 789 stamped on inside of the hoop.
