U.S. Wheel 55 Series Silver Rallye Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody out there used U.S. Wheel 55 Series Silver Rallye Wheels, USW-55-5760L?

I am considering a set for my 69 GMC, 6 bolt, 15 X 7, 4.25 backspace.

Anybody now the difference between USW-55-5760L and USW-55-5760 (no L). Summit racing lists both part numbers, but the specifications appear to be identical.

Anybody running 15 X 7, 4.25 backspace? They should fit?

stab in the dark... maybe thats something to do with one being hubcentric and the other isnt?

"L" is for disc brakes.

The other one has some comparioson going on and will not load properly cause there is nothing in your cache...to compare.

Thanks, I just recieved the price quote back from the dealer in the next town and WOW, he wants $165 a wheel.

I believe that a hubcentric wheel is one with a large hub hole in the middle, so it fits older axles; newer wheels have a small hub hole, so they won't fit without milling the hole out. And I believe that the new style is called Lugcentric. But I'm not sure. I AM sure, however, that if I am wrong, someone will correct me.

I have a set of Rally wheels for sale, not sure if they will work for you or not. They came off of a 70 C10 6lug.
