Default Source for steel wheels?

I'm looking for a set of steel wheels for my 1967 GTO
15X7 is the size and I will be putting poverty caps on as well.
Anyone have the RIGHT source?

What a deal. New plane steel wheels for 75 plus a pop. A whole set will cost 3-400. I'll stick with the twenty dollar sets.

I must be incredibly lucky - I purchase 4 and all 4 were in excellent condition. $20.00 each.

Maybe I should by some Powerball tickets...

Hey Champ,

I noticed that you have trim rings on your '64 with poverty
caps. Was this ever an option?

I call it the rare "dealer installed" option...;

Two years ago, someone on the board asked if anyone had ever seen a car with trim rings and poverty caps and if so could they post a photo.

I had a set of NOS 15" trim rings (still in the plastic) that were in my Dad's garage... So I decided to put one on to take a photo. I really liked how it looked so put all 4 on and have kept them on ever since.

I think it's a nice addition. The only thing is once you
commit to putting them on, it's on they stay unless you want
to repaint the rims should you decide to take them off.
Thanks for your input. It's really appreciated.
