Rallye wheels
 
I've recently acquired a set of Blazer rallye wheels. Does anyone know the correct paint code, and what are my center cap options? Pictures please.

CORRECT? since rally wheels weren't available on any 67-72 chevy trucks correct color is anything you want

later years the color was silver argent

Thanks guys, I was aware that there were no rallyes 67-72 I just wanted the correct color for reference.

Does anyone have a solution for the center cap problem?

5 or 6 lug. Different venter caps. as the 6 luugers were 4wd, and only had 2 closed centercaps

Jhwkns,I had no problem understanding your simple question.5 and 6 lug rallyes were the same color anyway,ay?I used what Eastwood sells and it`s spot-on as well as tough as nails paint.Keith Seymore`s look correct.I`ll have to put that info in my files for the future.
For truck rallye wheel center caps,which Wheel Vintiques and Whitney don`t offer,I like the 88-98 style better than what came with rallyes.There`s a pop-on type and a bolt onto the lugs type...that`s what you want.A tire ston get you the conversion duplex-type lugs you need.You need 1/2" and the 88-98s were 13mm thread on the studs.I don`t have any pictures,but in 72Super`s Carlisle thread is a sweet shortbed with this set-up.

Thanks Tim; I had seen that before, and that was what I was looking for. I wasn't sure what years were the desirable ones came from. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure my lugs are 7/16?

Is this the picture you were talking about?

These are the 88-98.But,they are 5-lug.I believe the 6-lug always have 4x4 medallions.I think you do have 7/16" with drums.I`d think the conversion lugs are made but could be wrong.Disc brakes take 1/2".If it`s just 4x4 medallion on the correct centers for pre-92 Rallyes there is a bowtie medallion the exact same size that went on those full wheel covers from about 78-85.They have 6 pyrmid shaped simulated lugs.I got some from Chevy,but they say someone sells them on Ebay.I have one 6-lug bowtie center cap that is the design that snaps over a special lug nut and may not be available in a conversion.I never looked into it,but bought the one to experiment on a`70 and never followed through with the lugs.

Thanks again Tim; It looks like I'll have to research this a little deeper on my own.

The blue stepside in the picture has what seems to be just a regular Blazer cap. I wanted to do something a little different.

Re: Rallye wheels
 
I was talking about a red`72,but it I realized it had something else after going for the picture.Hoe about the 88-98 4x4 caps with spinners covering the 4x4 medallion?

Good idea. That might look cool.

There were a few different hubcaps used. The most common probably were the dog dishes with bowties on them.
