Need help finding rims!

[Grandpa Shooter]

The 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera we got for LS to drive the 40 mile round trip to college has mysteriously developed four bad rims.  I had her pull into the tire shop where we got the 4 new tires for her car and they pulled all four and checked them.  I decided having them tell her about the hazards of driving 50mph on rutted and frozen dirt roads was the smarter choice.

I need to find 4 rims 14" with a bolt pattern of 5-115.  I am checking every city in the southwest Craigslist listings, but could surely use having someone more knowledgeable than I to help out.

The only response so far on a salvage yard listing service is 4 rims out of Chicago for $100.00 each.  Yikes!

$100 each for the rims off a nealy 20 year old car is forcible sodomy.

I've used this site before

to locate jeep parts, although it's been a few years.

Are the rims of the wheels bent or are they off true from the rotating axis?

sounds like a job for a u-wrench-it place.

pick-n-pull near me charges $6.99 for a 5-lug or less steel rim.

Hmm... Does Grandma Shooter like Newport or Skittles by any chance? 

But seriously, a set of non-trashed GM '95 Old's rims shouldn't be too hard to find if you call a bunch of junkyards. (Shouldn't a whole bunch of GM sedan's from the era use that pattern?)  I'd be curious as to how large that "salvage network" was, and how many junkyards it includes. Maybe a car-forum can tell you how many models use that rim/bolt combo.

This is the site I am requesting parts through.  The guy at the one place which has responded sounded quite "Pakistani" or the equivalent and I had a difficult time making out what he was telling me.  He also sent an email to confirm what he had said.

I'm not sure if you are serious or just pulling my leg.

Apparently she has been hitting pot holes with enough force that she now has a wobble at higher speeds.  The tire shop moved the rims she hit today to the back and the wobble is less.  It's front wheel drive and that doesn't help with bent rims.

Just pulling your leg. They actually exist, however, and are big down here.

Life is tough out on the Rim. 

The feds terraformed those moons and dumped settlers out there with nothing but a blanket, an axe, and a 1995 Oldsmobile.

I found some rims by doing a salvage yard by salvage yard search of the Valley.  The hardest part was getting the folks to believe that our Olds does indeed take 14" rims.  When I told them I had four new tires on the rims and had no interest in buying tires AND rims, one of the yards gave me the number for a yard that had four of the rims.

$150.00 out the door and my FIL is picking them up.  He is only a couple of miles from the yard.
