Ralley Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I feel like a happy camper. Found a nice set of ralley wheels for my truck. Just what I was looking for.

I don't know wether this is good deal or not, but got what you see for $100. The guy thinks he has another one, that way my side mount spare will match.

Question. I'm guesssing that all I need to do to change it from the 4x4 center cap emblem to the regular 2wd one is buy a sticker and put it on. My question is, 2 of the five caps he gave me are open for the 4x4 hubs. Is there Insets to change them over or will I need to swap/buy new caps? The non open caps look like they are one solid piece.

Thanks guys.

Good deal on the wheels. Yes you'll need to get a couple more of the rear style (no access hole) caps to match the fronts & a cheap alternative to new stickers for the center is to scuff the decal face w/a fine scotchbrite pad & shoot them w/satin black Krylon.

Go to walmart or truck supply store and get some of the small approximately 3" convex mirrors that are made to install on flat rear view mirrors to give a wider viewing area. When installed on the center caps, they look like chrome centers.

If the wheels are strait you got a pretty darn good deal!! I would have bought a good set for that price, especially because there isn't any shipping involved.... GM doesn't make an insert for the open center caps, you will have to locate the other kind to replace the caps that you have with the hole in the end. I would be interested in the center caps that you have, if you don't need them and want to sell them cheap... That is if they are the metal ones and arn't pitted. (not the plastic replacements.) I need another set for my 70 GMC Short Fleet 4X4. Let me know. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

hi
on the centers holes on the front caps--i cut a circle of sheet metal
and silicon it in and put the bowtie decals that you get at the larger swap meets---going on 3 years so far with no problem

I think only the front ones are metal. they don't look to pitted to me. The others appear to be plastic.
