Rally Wheels
 
Does anyone still make the steel (not chrome plated) rally wheels that came on these trucks/suburbans?
I'd like to find the complete set-up---wheels, beauty rings, and centers.
I'd like 8"...
What I've found at swap meets so far has either been partial set-ups, beat up, etc.
I've seen what LMC has in their catalog, but am not ready to buy chrome or spend that much if I can help it.

You'll pay a hefty for price for new ones. It's worth the time and effort to save big, and find a decent used set. A little work and a can of paint will have a set looking new. You can find decent centers and polish them, and then buy new rings. JMO

I know---I've seen so-so sets for $250 or more---just the wheels, no rings or centers---I keep hoping I'll find a deal, but no luck so far...

I see sets of 15x8s on CL in Houston everyday for $100-$150.

Found my 15x8s with center caps and rings on craigslist. Payed $160 for mine near Austin, Tx :metal:

Junk yards or swap meets. My first set was $40 without trim rings/center caps. My second set was $60 or $80, dont remember, and had caps and rings. I also got another set on a junker my pops got for nothing. The deals are out there and sometimes they find you when you least expect it. I wasnt looking for mine when I got them but the price was right so I jumped.

Vintage wheels also carries them in 10"....for a hefty price of course. If I remember right right summit racing also carries them a little cheaper. But I still agree with the other guys. A little more lookin plus some elbow grease will save you alot of money.

i've got a set of 15x8's and 15x6's sitting in my garage on the shelf with rings and centers for both. scout the local junkyards.


as long as they aren't bent up i would suggest getting them blasted and then having them powder coated.

i'm up to 3 sets of rallys and rings/centers and a set of wagons now too
