Corvette style rallyes in 6 lug? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jetfixr · 03-19-2005, 11:28 PM

I have a 1970 c/10. It seems like all the rims that I want only come in 5 lug configuration and I have 6 lugs. I originally wanted American racing torq aluminum rims but they are only available in 5 lug. I see quite a few of our trucks with the old Corvette style rallyes on them, and they actually look pretty darn good. Anyone know if anyone sells them in 6 lug configuration? I know I can do a 5 lug conversion but 6 lug wheels roll just as well as 5 lug wheels. I figure I can spent that money elsewhere.

Check out "Wheel Vintiques". I know they sell them in 6 lug. I think www.summitracing.com also has them.

They do make the torq thrusts in a 6 lug now, just to let you know. Also, there are several companies that make six lug corvette rallys. "Wheel Vintiques" defenitely make them because I have them myself.

Thanks for all the info guys, Stockton wheels is about half hour away from me an it looks like you can even select the backspacing for the rally wheels..... Bowtiefreak where have you seen 6 lug torq thrusts? I wouldn't even think it was with the spoke design.

jetfixr · 03-20-2005, 01:24 AM

Nevermind I found them on ARs site they are kinda buried, not listed with the rest of the vintage wheels. They have six spokes but they look pretty damn sweet.

Awesome!, too bad they are only in 17's.

**lolife99** · 03-20-2005, 12:30 PM

jetfixr,... I would contact American Racing Wheels, and make sure they fit our trucks. (67-72). I know the 6-lug TTII's came out when the '99-up Silverado pickups switched to a "6-lug" wheel. Just make sure the "bore" for the wheel is big enough to fit the front hubs and rear axles. It seems this is a problem when putting late model wheels on the 67-72 trucks.

I went to Les Schwab and picked out my wheel and tire combo 6 lug corvette style rims and my TOYO tires. I think it was like $865. mounted balanced and tax. Minus beauty rims were sold seperate (to the tune of 20 ea.) The beauty rings are the same ones that I have on my corvette (3" wide). However I seen some on A truck at A show and the beauty rings were very small like 1" and mounted different then mine. They looked very cool!!

In the current issue of Classic Trucks magazine, they put six lug Torq thrusts on a 67 truck. It looks great.
