Rally Wheels, Almost Done! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just wanted to share a few pics with yall of my progress on the rally wheels. It has taken a month to get this far, just working on them here and there. Two are completely done and the others just need the fronts painted. I might have a chance to finish them this weekend, if it doesn't rain.

Let me know what yall think.

i am interested too. I have to do this on mine....

I actually did not sand blast them. I just took a wire wheel to them and sand them down real well. The paint color is Ultra Silver (M) from Dupli-color and the backs are Semi-Flat Black. They turn out pretty good considering how much I paid for them and my skill level as a painter.

Nice Job!!!! They look good!

i was planning to sandblast mine, but if wirewheel works, then thats what i may do (since i uh... would have to borrow the sandblaster). mine have a lot of scoring from the rings comming off/on over the years, that are rusted pretty good. i hope they smooth out acceptably.

I am doing this same thing right know and used a wire wheel as well. If you have a lot of rust where the tire mounts I suggest knocking the large stuff off and using the stuff from Eastwood the kill the remaining rust. Worked great on mine.

Nice Job

Nice! Look for mine in the mail any day now.

I like them. I also like to do mine in gloss black just to be a little diff. from the rest of the silver ones. Shows off the 3" chrome trim rings a bit better IMHO!
