DESPERATE: Wheel for '84 Olds 88 Royale (not Brougham)

I am looking for a 15x7", 5 x 4.75 BC (steel) for my Royale.
Apparently, there is a difference between the Royale & Royale Brougham's, the latter of which I can find.
I have searched at least 30 sites, but am ignorant of wheels & may be overlooking one that would fit.
And advice would be appreciated. Even snide comments might make cheer me up at this point.
I don't want to get rid of my well-worn beloved just because of something that seems like it should be fairly common.
Thank you kindly.

I just removed four wheels from an '81 Delta...where are you and how desperate are you?

Hi, thanks for the response, but from what I've read an '81 wouldn't fit the '84 because they started making some "groove thingie" (can't remember the term) in 1984. Are you familiar with this?
If i'm totally wrong and they would fit, would you part with just one? & if so, how much? (not including shipping, i can calculate that later.)
I live in Bandon, Oregon.
Thanks again.

Are you SURE these are 15x7? My wife has a 1985 D88 Royale and the wheels are 15x6. The wire hubcaps are different for the 15x7 and 15x6 wheels.

Keep in mind that the width of a wheel is not the outside-to-outside measurement, it's the measurement between the bead seating surfaces.
