GSLSEs have 4x114.3 wheels. Its a common lug pattern, and will be very easy to find aftermarket ones.

If you're looking for an original wheel, try your local junkyard or ebay...

Try having a 1st gen non GSLSE... 4x110 wheels are hard(er) to come by.

EDIT... you may find 4x114.3 also referred to as 4x4.5

I've got a spare, but it's bent and you'd have to repair it (like $50 I guess?).

I have 4 off an 85 se. they are not bent or anything, I took them off to put on aftermarket wheels. What part of Illinois are you in? My family lives near Mt. Vernon. I go there nearly every weekend. I live in Henderson Ky. I could let you have one very cheap...(free)... They still have the old tires on them.

I have a set of four in good shape but would rather keep them to gether and shipping even one would probably cost more than you need to pay. They are very common, they come on ebay all the time to. Be patient and don't pay much!

Do you ever drive into the Baltimore-Washington, DC area? If so, I have a set of 4 wheels. Two are new--never been mounted (one still in the box). The other two have been refinished to like-new appearance.

Email me at asam@cris.com, if you're interested.
