New Shoes For The Circuit Rider - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 06-12-2012, 12:58 PM

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.

ChevLoRay · 06-12-2012, 02:47 PM

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'.

Thats what I'm running

CG · 06-12-2012, 05:20 PM

Well I only have one thing to say Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

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.

ChevLoRay · 06-12-2012, 05:29 PM

Well, it looks like 3 out of 4 people who posted, prefer Vette-style ralley wheels...

Well the TT's I bought last year are showing sign of wear after just one year. I realize not all will like Rally's but ...

I put used Rally on the fronts and I do like the look. I will use Corvette dust cover caps.
This is my truck version of the SS that I could not afford at the age of 18...for that matter I still can't afford a true SS now

big mike71 · 06-12-2012, 08:09 PM

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.

"Well, it looks like 3 out of 4 people who posted, prefer Vette-style ralley wheels... "

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)

VA72C10 · 06-12-2012, 08:39 PM

I love your truck...as is...and will love it with the new wheels

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

original-71 · 06-12-2012, 11:59 PM

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 ?

CG · 06-13-2012, 12:04 AM

Neither, no ralleys came stock on the 67-72's

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.

sanford66 · 06-14-2012, 02:34 AM

Nice choice, but i think any wheel would look good on your truck! Be sure to post some after pics! Joseph

OhioDan · 06-14-2012, 03:21 AM

Love those rims. I wish I could get a set for mine? They don't make them in 8 lug. Do they? Dang it!

I wonder if you could special order?

Most likely if you could it would cost you an arm and a leg?

By the way...
I think your truck is sweet as is

jchav62 · 06-14-2012, 05:42 PM

I love the vette style rally's. That's what we run on her '65... the all chrome version.
