Re: 6 Lug Rally Wheels?
If you can see a pix of a '64 GTO, one of the options was a Rallye wheel. It had six slots, compared to the later design used by Chevy that had five slots. Pontiacs had a small center cap and a trim ring. I think that was the first GM Rallye wheel.
In deferrence to the stroke I had in October of last year, I reserve the right to be wrong, on occasions. But I think I'm right on this one. My TR-3 had steel wheels, which were preferred over the wire wheels for racing purposes, i.e. rallying, autocross, gymkhana, road racing, etc. Those whees were just steel wheels with small hub caps and no trim ring. But rallye wheels are just sportier, in the eyes of some folks. I wasn't trying to be a wise a$$ when I referenced birds, just trying to say that we (being human) simply accept some things that are said and never question why. I had a micro-managing female for a boss at my long-term employer. She questioned EVERYTHING and trusted nobody. I was happy to retire.

Re: 6 Lug Rally Wheels?
Just found a set w/ 4x caps & rings , guy wanted 100 $ I got them for 80$
the rings are a bit dinged but maybe I can work em out . I'll have to sell the 4x caps cause they won't work for my truck but I'm happy they'll look way better than those Toyota wheels I've got keep your eyes open there out there!
