15x8 rallys?

[1977cheyenne_C10]

Hey ppl i just wanted to ask if they are asking to much for these rims or is the price good for the rims.Im looking for some rims because some guy really wants to buy my rims the one that are on my truck right now but im just taking long to sell them because i dont have other wheels to put on my truck.

ps. do you guys have any pictures of square truck with 15x8 rallys?

Here's a pic of my 79 and 87 with 15X8 rally's with 275-60 fifteen inch tires. I personally think the Chevy rally is one of the most attractive factory wheels out there.
That's a really nice set on eBay, but I think you can find a nice set of rally's for a better price than what is listed in the ad. particularly when you include shipping. Wheels themselves around here can be bought for about 100-125 bucks for set of 4. The challenge is to find nice beauty rings and center caps, but if you look closely at swap meets and bone yards, there are some deals to be found. Just my opinion.

I just bought a set this weekend, not as nice as the ebay ones but they came with centers and beauty rings, $125. I can sandblast these, paint 'em and they'll be close to perfect. My GF's son has a white Tahoe, I want to paint 'em white to match, so quality of the original paint wasn't as important as it may be for you.
Stockton Wheel probably doesn't get a whole lot more than the ebay guy's asking price for brand new powder coated wheels.

Got my second set for $50.00 rings and all, plus about $25.00 round trip in gas!!!

the problem guys is that here in SoCal its hard to find good stuff and if you do its really expensive compare to other states

wow i love how the black one looks
what are tire brand?

[6772fan]

Thanks. Tires on the black truck are Cooper Cobra's. If I had a do-over on the tires I would go with BF Goodrich, probably in a 255-70. Just a personal preference, but I went with what was most available at the time. You know how that goes............

Come on dude...I found a pair at the LB swap meet...and occasionally you see them in the junkyards. There's always Pomona too. If you can't find them here, they can't be found...Get the ones off ebay, you'll get the whole set in one shot and be done with it, rather than scrounging for parts.

[Square_78]

I got a complete set at the pick n pull for $6.99 each. Came with trim rings and center caps. They need to be sandblasted and painted mind you... I would never pay $350 for a set unless they were NOS.

I was planning to get the ones off ebay but if you say that at the junkyard you can get them then ill check my local yunkyard if not ill make a little trip to L.A

I like how the wheels look with those tires but isnt the BF Goodrich more expensive than the Cooper Cobras?

really? what yunkyard is that?

so $350 its alot?

[Square_78]

It was just one of those pick n pulls. Steel rims are $6.99 each
There was a whole bunch of them there but I grabbed the ones with bald tires so I wouldnt get charged for the rubber. Extra center caps were $2 each, dog dish hubcaps were $2.50 each, rear cab trim was $7, Nice steering wheel was $14, a late 90's bench seat for $35... Pick n pulls are cheap because you have to remove your own parts. The rims were already off and just laying in the bed of the truck. There were a whole bunch of them inside an old chevy van also, but they didnt have trim rings. I got a whole truck load of parts for $75.

$350 is a lot IF you dont have access to wrecking yards and someone who can sandblast and paint them for you. I'll be into mine for about $50 total after they are painted but Im doing it all myself. If you just need to buy some and bolt them on, then $350 would be ok I guess. They are damn good looking wheels.

[RandyP]

$350 is a lot for a set of standard old run of the mill rally wheels. Sure a used set you find for $100 is going to need to be painted, but that is not a real big challenge to do yourself.

Have that guy that wants your rims to help/OR get you a set of rallys and you'll trade with some boot your rims.
I wouldn't pay 350 for ebay rims. You just haven't found the right set yet. Check the craigslist in a 300 mile radius of you.

Pack up and head to the Carolina's and U will never regret it!!!

i found a local yunk yard and in their website said that on may 27 everything was going to be 50% off so i might wait or i might just go on sunday and check the place out

[1977cheyenne_C10]

One more thing guys is there difference between oem rallys and aftermarket rallys?

[J Knight]

Stock or OEM rallys are 15x6.5 van rallys or 15x8 truck rallys, both have 4.25 backspace. I believe there are some earlier rallys that are 15x7(73-76) that the center cap was attached by bolts/screws from the back side, these may or may not be threaded for 77-87 center caps. Im not 100% sure on the 15x7s.

Aftermarket rallys have the same centers as 77-87 rallys but have a variety of widths and back spacing.

[crm318]

I have 15x8s with 275/60/15s. It, in my mind, is the best looking wheel combination that I have ever seen.
