just look on ebay... just about any GM wheel will bolt on up..
also wander down to your local junkyard.. i'd bet they can find you 2 more stockers for <$50
Mrs. Thing, as some of you know, drives a 89 Buick Park Avenue. It has 14" wheels with wire hubcaps. Actually, two wire hubcaps, and replacements are $180 EACH
Several months ago, we discovered that one of the wheels is bent badly enough to be damaging the tire. Over a month ago, our local Discount dude talked Mrs. Thing into ordering new 14" brushed aluminum 5 spokes (@ $50 each ). They were not in stock as indicated, they have still not been made, and she is getting tired of waiting.
I just checked Tire Rack, and they only offer 16's to fit.
I'm looking for suggestions as to what to do or where to look. Please keep in mind the following points.
She aint into the BlingBling.
It was a $5000 car 6 yers ago and has 180k miles.
We have new tires in size 14.
The clear coat and the headliner are turning loose.
It is paid for and is low maintenance - 26 mpg & a great road ride.
She is very seriously attached to the car...the way it is.

I second the junk yard ideal, although your history for buying used rims does come into question!

Well, I went looking for used wheels via Google, and found a junk yard association that said they'd find my wheels and solve my problems!
