Edit: I now have five wheels. Thanks to all who helped.
The 69 flattop needs dog dish caps. I'm looking for 15x7 steel wheels, 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern, something like the ones that came on a bazillion 1977-1990 B-body cars but are nowhere to be found today. Either near the northern VA/western MD/southern PA area, or at Spring Carlisle would be great to avoid shipping costs. Thanks.

"ran them for years as winter rims" Bead rot, anyone? Probably worth at least checking out though. Those seven inch wide rims have dried up down here as well, the vast majority that have turned up, personally, have been 15" x 6" in width, whether 5 x 4 3/4" circle or 5 x 5" bolt circle.
That set near Philly is gone. Joe P did you get them. I could use a set as well in NJ.
Unfortunately I did not. I have two now, still need two more. Two swap meets locally this coming weekend, so I'm crossing my fingers. I'm cheap, so it would pain me to pay for new ones.
I pulled a set of the original 15 inch steelies off my 1978 Holiday 88
The lug holes on two of them are toast. I'll check the other two

If they are 15x7 I'll take them. Please verify as most of these cars came with 15x6 wheels. Be sure to measure between the bead seats, not to the outside rim. Thanks.
Joe- are these what you are looking for? I think i got these two from a dealer way back thinking theyd fit my cutlass.. dealer takeoffs i believe.
If you still need them maybe i can find a way to get them to carlisle (mileage additional )
Joe- was hoping the numbers could identify the bolt pattern.. I don't know the difference but will try to confirm..
Most of the 15x7 wheels from the 1980s were on B-body wagons that used the 5 x 5" pattern. I've actually got a bunch of those. I was not able to trace any of the numbers to a bolt pattern, only the rim configuration, unfortunately. The trick is to measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the one two holes over. This approximates the bolt circle.
joe- figures these were so nice..they are 5x5..but i do have 3 or 4 others that are 4.75(i think), though not as pretty..
As an aside, would these be the same as the ones on my 74 Salon? they came standard w 15x7JJ..
(sorry about the huge pic..haven't figured out sizing yet..)
