Are you sure it has the 4 speed hydro?Cats and GPs got the slimjim trans?The 15in wheels show up on ebay from time to time.They are 5 on 5 bolt pattern.Also be aware if the car is stock the the drivers side lugs are LH and the pass side are RH.Many lugs are broken off by unaware people with with a impact gun.Tom

You can use 15" wheels from many later model GM full size cars (1971-1976 for sure, with some makes and years newer than that.) They should be plentiful and cheap, but they won't have provisions for the original style dog dish hubcaps that would have been used in 1963 on a 15" wheel.
