We do have a few Conventional 15 inch wheels available such as the Dexstar Steel Wheel # AM20514. This wheel has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and is black powder coated. We also have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern wheel with the Dexstar # AM20504. I have attached an article that explains how to determine your existing bolt pattern so you can be sure one of these wheels will match.

You will also want to take note of the pilot hole diameter and any offset that the wheel might have. The Dexstar # AM20514 features a pilot diameter of 3.65 inches and has a zero offset.

I have included video demonstrations on these wheels for you to check out along with a link that will take you to our available selection of 15 inch Conventional Wheels.
