Rally Wheel holes egged out. Fixable ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue71LWB · 08-31-2007, 12:17 PM

I have come across a set of truck rally wheels . 15 x 7s. 71 and up style.

One of the rims looks like it was run with loose lugs. It isn't real bad , is this fixable or should I junk it and get a new wheel? I'm having trouble finding another 15 x 7 here locally.

Thanks,

junk it and go to ypur local junk yard and serch for a better one. It will never be balance if you try to fix it.

It's probably a 73 up style, does it have lots of rectangular slots in it?

he means the 5x5 bolt pattern rally, hence 1971 up because thats when they went to the 5 lug halfton 2wd.

so there where no 6 lug rally wheels on trucks till '73?

ive had a bunch of 67-72's with 6 lug rallys

No 6 lug rallys till 73+, or 5 lug rallys, all the "truck" rallys were put on after 1973

Just because they are on them does not mean they came with them.

Blue I think you need to paint that wheel up real nice and put a nice band and center on it and the bolt it to the wall and put your air/water hose on it. These wheels are everywhere especially 15x7.
