Re: 80's rallye style
Here's mine it a popular mod using 90's centers and just tapping the bosses on backside. Easy to do and they a much shallower than factory.

Re: 80's rallye style
Seen your wheels and caps liked them. So ibought the wheels and just bought the 6-lug caps this weekend. Now can you give me an idea what size screws and how do you thread the bosses.

Re: 80's rallye style
I tapped mine using 25/20 tap and 25/20 bolts about 1" long. Careful not to overtighten and you might want a little sealent. I got the idea from LonghornMan. If you do a search on it. There is more detailed info.

Re: 80's rallye style
I have the same ones (in 5 lug) with simulated knock offs (spinners) bolted to them.

Re: 80's rallye style
No,there's no way to fasten them. Whatever goes on these wheels needs to fasten at the lugs (duplex lugs) or be screwed though the back,like factory.

Re: 80's rallye style
Here's mine before tear-down, and another shot of the Wheel Vintiques wheels that I'm running on my '96. You can put any one of a number of different caps on these wheels, some w/knock-offs, most without. Check out www.wheelvintiques.com, then order them from Summit Racing and save money. The bare wheel is a 16x7, with both 5 on 5 and 5 on 5.5 patterns. The wheels on my '69 are 6 on 5.5.

Re: 80's rallye style
I always just used self-tapping 1/4-20 screws.
