Question on wheels
So I scored 2 old school wheels (pictured) at a swap meet for a whole $10 for both. They were at one point chrome, but I bought them rusted since I know a powder coater, so they're all better now. Well I was super excited because I knew my dad had 2 old, wide, steelies out back. Turns out those were actually 16.5", very pitted, and not a good close match anyways, so no go. Now I've got these 2, 15"x7"(ish) wheels but I'm having issues finding 2 more that are identical.
So my question is, does anyone mass reproduce these in bare steel, or is there possibly a source for old ones anywhere? I've found a couple custom build sites but that sounds expensive and I'm not looking to spend a fortune. Also did these get made in anything near 10" widths? Thanks P.S. - Yet to decide if I wanna run caps and/or rings on these too so suggestions/pics of that could be handy too. Thanks again

Re: Question on wheels
if they were chrome, then they were the old wheels with the moon hubcaps.Dont know about 10s, but I had set of 8s many "moons" ago. Pretty hard to find nowadays. They are the same as stock steelies, so why not just get a matching pair, and pc them? If you want them wider, check with a welder, and see what he can do

Re: Question on wheels
If you don't need ones that will clear disc brakes, I'm sure plenty of forum members have similar wheels. Alternatively you could get a drum pair and have the centers removed and welded into 15" x 10" rims that would clear discs, or a combination of the two solutions.
