Trim Rings
 

I have set of 15 X 8 Rallye Wheels I took off an 87 Chev C10 Shortbox last year. The trim rings were missing and I want to get replacements . My question is shoud I get 2 1/2 or 3" Rings. I think the 3" are for the Vette rallye wheels and if that is the case i'm wondering if they will fit the Chevy Rallye Wheels?

Re: Trim Rings
 

3" one look better in my opinion.

The real question is, are you going to paint the wheels PINK!

Hi Blaine, ha,ha, I was wondering if someone was gonna ask me that !! When I bought the truck it had the rallyes on it and I changed them for the ones that are in my avatar now. I really want 17" Boyd Coddington Blasters for my truck but havent been able to scrape the 2000.00 together to buy them,then another 1000. for 17' tires. I thought I'd put the Rallyes back on and was contemplating painting them white or like you asked I had thought about painting them pink and putting the wide whitewall tires on , but they are real expensive too. The truck had whitewalls and rallyes when I bought it and I did like that look.


Sorry for the picture quality but these are scanned pics from prints and show the truck with whitewalls. The outside pic is from about 2002 when I first bought the truck and the second is from a Draggins Easter Weekend Car Show around 1997/1998 whe I first saw thew truck and fell in love. When I spotted the truck with a "For Sale" in the window in Sept 01 at our annual Cruise Event I knew Iwas gonna spend some money !!

I wanted the wider rings, & couldn't find any that weren't dented or curb-rashed to death.

I settled for the narrower, much more common, & definitely cheaper ones.

The look kind of grew on me, and I quit looking for the wide ones.

I found three rings at first, and stopped in my tire store, and they gave me a full set. Free $$$. They had several of the narrow ones, and said they can't ever find the wide ones, either.

Re: Trim Rings
 

Yes I know the 3' are hard to find but I have a line on a set. How do you like the Cooper Cobra tires on your truck?

Re: Trim Rings
 

Not a bad tire at all.

My truck isn't driven daily, and they seem flat-spot a little with sitting for a week or a month, but it's such a pleasure to get to drive it when I can find or take time to do it, that it's only a small annoyance. Probably, most any tire would do that.

Truck's been out in the weather & the sun for almost three years now, and they seem to resist sun-checking pretty well, and clean-up pretty nice with very little effort.

I bought the same wheels that chevyredneck has on his shortbox.

Knock off Vette rally wheels off eBay. I had them mailed to me in Fort Smith and total cost was under $400.

Oh well I must go and scrap 4 inches of snow off the truck and head back to work!

Re: Trim Rings
 

3 inch should work

I have the trim rings from a 88-98 truck. I like them and they were super cheap and super easy to find. Let me find a pic of them real fast.

Re: Trim Rings

Re: Trim Rings
 

Item number: 230195772164 on ebay I bought these 60.00 to your door...

Re: Trim Rings
 

I like the 2 1/2" rings. Too me, they make the rims look wider. jmo

Re: Trim Rings
 

But Duuuuuuuude, that truck's pink man! ;)

Re: Trim Rings
 

and ????????

Re: Trim Rings
 

I had the 3" and went to the 2". The 2" make the rim look bigger like mentioned earlier.

Re: Trim Rings
 

I have been struggling with this very problem. I have a set of 3", 2 1/2" and 2" rings. I can't decide which I like the most!:crazy:
