If all else fails on wheels, American Racing makes 14 x 7 and 15 x 7 steel wheels in chrome and a painted finish (also both x 6). Look at http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/wheels.asp?section=A. You have to go through all to see them. Take a look at "Smoothie" (series 31), "Wagon Wheel" (series 44, can be painted), "Reversed Smoothie" (series 732), "Rally Silver" (series 773 -- silver painted center, chrome rim), and "Rally Chrome" (series 775 -- all chrome, what I had on my wagon before it was wrecked). I paid around $75 a wheel three years ago. You can get different center caps for the Rally wheels, but they aren't listed on the website.
