anyone have an extra pair of these wheels in a 15x8 w 4.5 BS available?
I think they were available after market for a while but I cant find them anymore.
I have on back order (since May of 2021...lol) the wheel vintiques SSI 15x8. I had since acquired these factory 80's 15x7 and they have really grown on me to the point that if i can find a pair of the aftermarket 15x8 with 4.5" BS I would love to get them for some larger rear tires.
FWIW, the chrome on the repro 15x8's suck. I have a set on my car and I'm glad I found them used about 10 years ago and didn't pay stupid money for them. I also think the BS on them is 4", not 4.5"
I don't generally recommend these thieves for anything but they were advertising a limited number of repro 15x7's remaining a few years ago (I think they had 3 left) for $349 each. It may be worth a call to see of they have any of the 15x8's kicking around as they originally sold them.

When I decided to move up to 15" on my Cutlass Brougham many years ago, I ordered a set through Wheels Vintique. A couple of them had grinding marks (nice qc) so they went back. Got replacements & one of them was bad. With all the trouble, I called them & asked for some money back due to the trouble & got screamed at. The set I settled on still had issues like a vibration I couldn't get rid of.
When I had this car, I must've spent over $2,000 trying to find decent rims. Do you know how many times I told myself, "why didn't you stick with the originals?" At the time of this mistake, I had Buick aluminum rims with the square holes around the edge. I placed a Olds rocket sticker over the Buick eagle; looked good & rode perfectly!
By now, I'm sure you've seen I agree wholeheartedly with allyolds.
