Hey guys i wanted to know if anyone had bought truck rallys from wheel vintiques?

are they powder coated?
are they the same quality from the oem truck rallys?
is there a difference from OEM truck rallys to these?

Nope. Never heard one thing about it. I thought that when it came time to order then I would question whoever I was talking to about it. Either they didn't care or maybe someone didn't pass it on to where it needed to go.

I am planning on it but I will have to wait until the truck gets painted first and then see if there is any money left. I would really like to have a set of the Intro torino rims but they start at $2900 just for the rims. Needless to say the WV vette rallies will be on there first.

Yep I had to recoat my last set after about a year. The second powder coat was going strong after I sold the truck. Jay

I bought 2 10" truck rallys about 8 months ago from Summit Racing. Pulled them out of the box to check them out, put them back in the box and taped it up. Then I put them in the back of my closet. About a week ago I pulled them out to get them powdercoated along with a pair of factory fronts and most of the paint had come off in the box. They weren't exposed to any elements or chemicals on my end, but where the paint had come off they felt greasy. Probably a combination of poor prep & cheap paint.
