I'm looking to see if there are any year model 15 inch aluminum wheels that will go on my 2002 Grand Caravan. It looks like the steel wheels for 2002 where 15 and the aluminum were 16 or larger.

 

There were no 16 inch aluminum wheels for your generation. You are correct... only 15 steel wheels. If you wanted to go older (I think 3rd generation) you could get a 15 inch aluminum I think. But going older won't likely get you something that's still finished nicely anyway. You can find lots of nice aftermarket rims that add a nice flair for less than $100 each. You are obviously aware that you will then have to go with a higher profile tire. Why do you want to change?

 

I really don't want to change tire size. I just dislike the plastic wheel covers and suspect I have a slightly bent steel wheel.

I want to get into aluminum wheels in 15". Can you point me at an aftermarket vendor?

 

Well,,,,,,,,, I found these. There are not many choices in the 15 inch world but I think these will do.

Nice links in the specs will help me measure the Back spacing and offsets to make sure.

• Size: 15x6.5
• Offset: 40mm
• Backspacing: 5.35"
• Bolt Pattern: 5-114
• Rec. Tire Size: 215/70-15
• Weight: 17.5lbs.
• Finish: Silver Painted
• Construction: 1pc. Cast
• Finish Warranty: 1 Year
• Manufactured in China

 

Update - I pulled one of my steel wheels off today and measured the offset and/or back spacing and they are a match for the wheels shown in my last post so I ordered them.


Pretty sweet deal if they are any kind of 1/2-way decent quality. Lug nuts, centering ring and cover included.

I ordered a tire pressure monitoring system made by "Orange". I'll be all set.

I just put the new Michelin Defender series tires on Tuesday, I wish I had gotten the impulse sooner.

My tire guy says tire prices are going to raise by 12% across the board soon so if your shopping........
