New Shoes For The Circuit Rider
Well after much study and reading I have purchsed a set of 15x8 Rally Wheels for my truck. They are less maintenance then what I have and they have the look that I like which goes back to the late 60's and early 70's.
There are a lot of super looking wheels to choose from. 15s -20's but these are the ones that best remind me of years gone by. ![]() ![]()

Re: New Shoes For The Circuit Rider
I ran a pair of 15x10' on the back, with 15x8's on the front, on my '69. I had 'em powder-coated red.
Later, meaning about 18 months ago, I got another set for my '96....16x7's, so I could rotate my tires. With some experience....I'd have gone with a shorter tire up front and got me some rubber rake goin'.

You know your truck is probably in the top 5 here on the board, this may put it down into the top 6 =( *Sigh* I guess it will probably be ok with rallys.

Re: New Shoes For The Circuit Rider
I like them, when mine gets out of the paint shop I'm putting mine back on. What size tires are you going to run.

LOL, Oh I like the ralleys too, just look at all the trucks posted .... nice stuff! I just love the look of your truck as it is, but I'm not the one that has to keep up the wheels =) Just to keep it interesting .... Here is how his awesome truck sits right now (unless he already put the new wheels on lol) ![]()

You can always switch back and forth between the two depending on your/our mood.

Re: New Shoes For The Circuit Rider
curious question, was it these rally wheels that came on these trucks or the other late model ones with more slots ? or was it neither ?

Re: New Shoes For The Circuit Rider
The truck Rallys that are normally used are early 80's I believe. The Five slots are the late 60's early GM style 70's slots.
