Alloy Rims - 15??? WHAT???

Anyone with the Lumina Euro (90-94) 15" alloy rims out there? I was under the ASSumption that the only alluminum rims that Chevy made for the 1st generation Luminas were 16" rims.

I found this out after I bought a set from a guy for $60 that has a pretty decent set of tires. Then I found out that one of the rims was missing a small chunk on the outer edge (about the size of a wheel weight) --- he had been using the rim to rest a car on instead of a jackstand... really intelligent!

Anyway, one of the tires is low on tread and the one rim is missing a chunk, and the reason I bought them in the first place is because the wife's car has 16" rims and she had an extra set of 16" rubbers I was going to use as on my car. Oh well... now I'm looking at spending the $100 I was trying to avoid spending originally for a set of 16" alloy rims from a salvage yard. Of course it'll be extra to get the tires balenced after I get them put on, but what can you do??


Oh yeah... I've got a '90 Lumina that originally had a 2.5 that we dumped a 3.1 into from a '91 Euro. The car has been totally converted to a Euro now... well with stupid 15" rims!!!!
