  The 14" centers are 12" in diameter.The centers on the 15" are 
12.5".You can not cut the 14" center out and use it on a 15" wheel.It's 
a 1/2" too small.If you find the 15" I suggested,you then take them to a 
wheel shop and have the centers cut out(ruining the old shell in the 
process) and installed on a new 15" wheel shell making any adjustments 
in backspacing.Correct?

A local shop charged me $190 for a pair of rear wheels with bead 
blasting.I had 4 rattle cans mixed and filled with the factory paint 
code to match the car, and sprayed them myself.Will send pics upon 
request.
