The Circuit Rider's New Wheels...a minor set back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 07-05-2012, 04:50 PM

I had the new 5 slot Rally's installed on the Circuit Rider and come to find out the Trim Rings that JEG's sold me were the wrong ones and they didn't fit.

I called JEG'S and they verified they sold me the wrong Trim Rings. So it's going to be another 2 weeks plus before I get them installed.

Patience is the key and all things will eventually fall in place.

Is it a difference between truck and car rings? or depth?

What happened to the Torq Thrust wheels?

Sold...I think.

This is the forth set of wheels.
#1 GM Truck Rally's 15x8
#2 Torq Thrust Originals 16x8
#3 Torq Thrust D's 15x8
#4 5 Slot Corvette Rally's. 15x8

For some reason I just couldn't get my mind off the Vette Rally's so I decided to go with my heart.

Soon I will post a series of pics of the Circuit Rider in all four shoes.

It looks like the Trim Rings do not go deep enough into the Rally wheel. JEGS confirmed they sold me the wrong Rings.

I like this look best. I was never a fan of big rims. I like them 15"-16". GOOD JOB!

Thanks... It was a long road getting to this decision. The other rims looked good but the Rally's take me back to my teenage years in the late 60's and 70's. Geeee... I am starting to date myself

Those are actually the correct trim rings for those wheels. I bought the exact same ones. They come with a 3 inch trim ring for the 8 inch wide rims. I ended up buying the 2 inch wide trim ring that comes with the 6 inch wide rims. Much better look. Ill find the link when i get on my desktop at home.

I agree, the 3 inch rings seem to cover up too much of the slots.
