I have a set. I ended up using a generic trim ring off of Ebay that is actually pretty convincing and fits well. I have another set of the 15x7's on order. They were supposed to be available at the end of December, but no word yet. I ordered them from Coker since they actually own Wheel Vintiques so I figured that would be my best shot at actually getting them. I am assuming they will fill their own orders before everyone elses. I know 15x8 will work on the rear, as I had a set on my car. I think 15x8 will be a problem on the front of a 65 as you can't run a really wide tire up there as they rub on the back of the fender when turning. 235's will rub for sure and anything much narrower on a 8 inch rim will probably be too narrow for the rim. These are the trim rings I used. https://www.ebay.com/itm/365938539159

Thanks for the info., I will look at those trim rings. Coker rep told me they would be available by mid March. I am currently running a vintage 15x7 Torq thrust up front, with 3” back space, so 4” front space, and it doesn’t rub with 225s. Front end is also lowered 2” in front, as well as rear.
