Default Vintage Aluminum K5 Wheels

I can't seem to post to the wanted section, so I am dropping this here.

I am looking for a set of original 15x7 aluminum wheels. With all the chevy trucks on the road in the 80s and 90s, I thought these would be easier to find. I live in GA and have been disappointed with the number and quality of junkyards in my area. I am attaching a picture of what I am looking for.

My K5 project is a 1986 Blazer. It came with no motor so I dropped in a 383.

Any leads on finding a set of wheels are appreciated.

These wheels are in plentiful supply in salvage yards in my area.These were originally clear-coated and any wheel weight swap usually resulted in corrosion issues. Good news is these are very easily restorable either on a spin balancer or by glass beading.Also any "rally"style cap will fit,available new for reasonble or used for cheap! Bad news: these wheels are inherently weak! Look for bead damage(inner & outer) and mounting flange cracks! These weren't the strongest wheels... Best to you!
