My Scamp came with 14" Cragar SS wheels on the back, 14" steel wheels on the front, and (2) more Cragar SS wheels in the trunk. I was excited to see them when I bought the car, but trying to test fit them today, I noticed the bolt pattern doesn't fit my front drums, and they are suuuuuper wide. I have no desire to run a wheel or tire that wide on this car with a slant 6. Once I figure out wheels and tires for this car, the set of Cragar SS wheels will go up for sale.

Are there compatible wheels from other, possibly newer cars that might work? Like something I could hunt the local salvage yard for. I'm not totally opposed to running steel wheels all the way around and painting them, but my preference would be a nicer looking stock-ish wheel. I'm thinking I'll be in the 205-225 range for tires.
 
Not many aftermarket wheels for the Mopar 4''x5 bolt pattern.But they are out there with some searching.
Do you have the 4'' or the 4 1/2''bolt pattern ? Sounds like they may be 4''.
If so Summit has a 15x7'' Chrome small bolt Mopar rallye wheel without the center. #COK-MRYS-157
Price is $194 Not bad for a new chrome wheel.Summit has several listings but some of them are out of stock.
Don't get fooled that the 100mmx5 wheel from newer cars work. They are close but not a true fit.
A 5x4'' is 101.6mm. 205-225 is a good fit either in 14'' or 15''

It is the 4" bolt pattern. I saw what you were talking about at Summit. I may look at buying 2 Cragar SS wheels to match the 2 that are already on the car, but I think I may prefer to go with stock steel wheels and sell the set of Cragars. Thanks for the input. I posted a Wanted add for 2 5x4 15" stock steel wheels. We'll see.
