rally rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69trk · 03-16-2011, 06:46 PM

Just picked these up today to see what they look like. I'm going to be replacing the fronts with some 6.5" van rally wheels with 225/70/15, and the rears with some 295 drag radials just for street use. Then i have some light weight rims for the strip!!!! What do you guys think...

69trk · 03-16-2011, 06:48 PM

I think they look better than the centerlines that i had on it...

What color should i paint them?

daved · 03-16-2011, 08:40 PM

I always loved the rallys.....sorry to go off topic but what water pump (short or long) are you running? if it is the long pump is there room for a electric fan? Im doing a big block swap in my 68 and want to run the serp belt conversion kit but it uses the long pump and my front clip is off (and i dont have a four core yet) to get a measurement. any pics or help would be awesome! BTW....nice truck!

I have an electric water pump not sure if it measures like the long or short. But here's you a picture...

The original color was usually magenta.
Sort of a dark shade of silver.

It looks like they do bolt on the original cap. Not sure where you can get them. I bought these off craigslist from a board member

The silver part of this I agree with, but the color is definitely not magenta. Ralley wheels are painted "Argent", which is a silver. There are two common shades of argent, one is lighter and that's the factory ralley color. There is also a dark argent, but I really didn't like the color when I tried it on a set of ralleys.

IMPO - Ralley wheels should only be painted argent, I just don't think the wheels look right when they are painted another color. But, to each his own.

That is a mighty fine looking truck!

You are absolutely right dhaymaker, It says Argent right on the top of my paint can. I don't know where I came up with magenta. DUH
Magenta would look kinda stupid on a set of wheels.

the rally's look so much better use the centerlines for slicks and nice bbc too.

GASoline71 · 03-16-2011, 09:03 PM

I like the Centerlines better myself. Not a fan of the Rallye wheel.

heck of alot better scrub those whitewalls

daved · 03-17-2011, 08:14 AM

thanks 69 trk....

68Stepbed · 03-17-2011, 08:34 AM

I'd keep the wheels silver on your truck. It's rare to see body colored rallies look "right".

They're gonna look pretty sweet with the 295's on the back. Can't wait to see it.

prostreetC-10 · 03-17-2011, 09:41 AM

Screw the ralleys.......let's talk about your hood!!! LOL

I see it's pinned on so it must be glass. What brand is it and where did you get it? I looked around for a stock glass hood for my truck and found one down in FL for about $700 plus about $500 in shipping. I called and asked why the shipping was so high. They said it had to go freight. I said I understand but it's still "glass"!!!!!!

I'd love to find a stock shaped 67-68 fiberglass lift off hood for my truck someday. Thanks for any info!!!

I bought this one from u.s. body source back in 2008. Not to happy with their service. It also needed alot of prep work before paint. The hood was $300 and shipping was $194. Then i had to have it painted and trimmed up with zeus fasteners. I have close to $1000 in this hood...I've been thinking about selling it and putting my steel hood back on it...

The fronts that are on it now are 255/70's and the rears are 275/60's.

68Stepbed · 03-18-2011, 01:57 PM

That's an odd tire combo.

**Clyde65** · 03-18-2011, 03:18 PM

I dont think it is odd^^, the tires are pretty close to the same OD and it makes it so the front tires are in line with the rears, ya know like if you drive through water on a parking lot? they kinda line up, if you had 60 series on the front also, you wouldnt have the same rake and also the front would stick out just a little more than the rear. At least that is how I see it.

69trk · 03-18-2011, 03:27 PM

Those are just on it for now so i can move it around.
