I see the styled steel wheels as fwd design and rallyes as rwd design. Also, they were only used on 4wds.
Thanks Tim for the explanation. I continue t learns things. Now I am glad I did not make a trip to go look at them I did not pick up on the smaller inner hole when viewing the photos in the ad. The guy had a nice set of take-off rims but no center caps or trim rings so it was not easy to figure things out. I happen to have 3 trucks 88-98, including 2 2-door full-size blazers, but I do not need another set of rims.
