There were narrow 15" wheels on AMC cars back in the 60's, but they have a smaller center bore and will not fit the later hubs.
If you can live without steel wheels, some of the American Racing wheels are pretty cheap. |

you can have custom steel wheels made for about $100 each. I used Stockton Wheel last time. superb quality. exactly everything I wanted. new -- so they're true, clean, powder coated, they leak 0 psi per year.
I got AMC pattern and setback, and the 16" x 7" I wanted.
AMC hub caps won't fit though. |

Anecdotal maybe at this point, but the older Rambler American wheels (some of them at least) were 15 x 4. The centers were riveted to the outer rims. I sold four of those to a Rambler owner in San Jose a few months ago. I would at least upgrade the technology to welded centers if/when I were buying wheels. Joe
