Have a 72 Scamp with sbp 5x4 wheels that are 14x6. Turns out all four are bent and I just bought tires for them (how convenient!). Considering going the 15 inch route if the shop is kind enough to exchange the tires but there doesn't seem to be anything other than Cragars and Rallyes. I have rallyes on there now powder coated black and like the look. But am curious to see if anyone else has found any wheels other than what's found on summit. Or do you all think the 14s should just be replaced with another set of same size? Don't want to change bolt pattern at this point in life. Thanks!

You can run a few sizes and not throw off the sbp but that depends on how big your wallet is for one offs or use wheel adapters. Wheel adapters will start arguments as some people think they are great while others say they are bad. 5x100 metrics won't work but then again some ppl say they fit. Won't fit my 65 Valiant and it's the sbp. All in what your taste is. Old school, resto mod or modern. Been looking for a set of sbp 14s myself so have fun looking. They are few and far between.
 
Coy wheels has 5x4 bolt pattern available
I have some on my car, 17 inch. I think they offer some 15 inch wheels.

Would you happen to have a better photo of your car besides your profile pic? Would like to see it.looks nice
 
Whatever you do, don't use wheel adapters.
Here is a source for 5x4" wheels. ET Mags. You'll have to call Scott and discuss which styles, sizes, and backspacing he can make. He is great to deal with and the wheels are just works of art. ET Wheels by Team III Wheels
Here is a link to a pic of my car with the 5x4" 15"x7" E-T wheels on it: 1969_Dodge_Dart - Google Drive

I had no issues with my order from Coy other than it took about a week longer than I was initially told. I bought my tires from him also, they came mounted and balanced... I have attached another picture, don't know how big it will display until I post this reply....

There used to be shops that straightened bent wheels. We even have one about an hour from where I live. The same shop can cut your spider out and weld it into a straight rim, course you can kiss the paint-job goodbye,lol. And they can also put that spider into a wider rim and change the offset.
 
I bought a complete set of American Racing Torque Thrust II's in 15x7 with SBP from a guy on eBay called Ron's Rims. It was a very smooth transaction and I would buy from him again. I think he had other SBP options as well.

Yeah I like those, just not ready to jump to a 17. But I like their 15 inch and 14 inch options

Yeah I imagine the price of 15 inch rallyes from Summit would be cheaper than getting them fixed though.

Yeah he has some. More than I'm wanting to spend at this point.
 
Could you elaborate on your experience with coys?
Yeah I tried ordering their 5 spoke in 15" sbp, they told me it would take 3 weeks.. 4 months later and every excuse under the sun, they told me "sorry we can't make them for you"... Complete waste of time. Terrible communication and customer service.

Wow! How long ago was that?

Small bolt pattern????????????????????
 
you can still get brand new slots from US Mags (made in china, of course) in 15X5, 15X7 and 15X8

of course, then you have to deal with that annoying bright polish but at least you'll have classy looking wheels
 
I'm personally not a big fan of the solid centerlines or the slot mag wheels. Just not my style
