15" steel wheels

I just purchased a 1970 Superbee and am considering body colored steel wheels with poverty caps over rallye wheels.  If I do go with steel wheels I would like to go with 15's.  My question is does anyone reproduce a primered wheel?  I found powdercoated wheels but I don't want to deal with that.  If not, where would I find 15's and what car would they come off of?  I'm not sure where to begin looking for them beyond scanning eBay.

TIA!

Find used. They are of much better quality than the repops. Any 15x.... wheels from a c body or whatever will likely do the trick

It looks like running 15x7's all the way around on 235/60's is a good set up and the link below looks like a great option to get what I want while still getting a high quality product for not that much more than repops. 

Has anyone used this company before? 

Also can anyone recommend the backspacing on a 1970 B body with this set up?  I can request a specific backspacing so I'd like to make sure I get the best look and fitment possible.

The problem that I've seen with the repops is that they seem to be made of soft steel. If the lug nut have to be on and off much the holes get galled easily.
