That's the eternal question. Why not get both? You could put ralleys on one side and torque thrusts on the other. Then decide what mood you're in and enter the truck from the appropriate side.

Or just do ralleys.

Whatever it is, go with chrome......

If I hadn't decided on 20's, I woulda ran these chrome corvette style rally wheels......

I've had the rally wheels and I now have a set of 18"TTII's, and I prefer the TTII's for looks and the Rally's for the ride.....

I don't think you would be wrong with either choice but, since you asked I vote classic ralleys. RJ22

**N2TRUX** · 03-29-2007, 11:05 PM

HeavyD · 03-30-2007, 12:51 AM

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-30-2007, 05:30 AM

Heres a shot of my 70 in 17" chrome rallys. Didnt take a picture before I tore it apart

They are from whell vintiques. If you decide on these they changed the style to the ones on the Impala. I dunno If you can still get the old style. Both sets are 17" rallys but the new style is a true 17"rim with more clearance for brakes and such. The old style have a 15" wheel center in a 17" rim. The truck does however have 4wheel discs with no clearance issues. The Trucks are 17 x 8 and the Impalas are 17 x 7.
