Does Anybody Know If There Was 8 Bolt Ralleye Wheels Ever Made.

There was a wheel made in the late 80's and early 90's that was kinda like a Rally, but is its considered a real Rally. It is the closest thing to an 8 lug rally wheel though. Here is a pic of them.

nope, no rallys made in 8 lug, just the silver solid wheel (base model rim) pictured above.

Actually,it was the "only" rim offered on 88-00s.The base came with a black center cap and no beauty ring.The upgrade was to get a chrome center cap and beauty rings.Alloys on 8-lugs never happened until the new millenium.

good point.
One thing about those rims, they are 99% of the time a total PITA to remove. GM made the center hole, where the hub comes out, a REAL tight fit.

Yeah,watch that paint!

Those late model wheels, that some of us call "ralleys", are a nice upgrade for our 3/4T trucks. They are a real low maintenance wheel with the SS rings, chrome plastic caps and tough paint.

I have some 15" 8 lug wheels on my 69 but I think thay will only work on drum trucks and not with the disc.

Is There A Company Or Private Party That Might Have Some For Sale, Thanks Guys!

Longhorn Man · 10-09-2007, 09:58 PM

you checked the junk yard? They started making them almost 20 years ago

They`re all over the place if you start looking.Finding clean rings and centers(w/mounting hardware)is a little harder.But,you can get those new.Find a guy that took them off to mount custom wheels.Alot of people think these are ugly or just too plain.I`ve left mine on my`92 since new.It`s gone from,"when ya gonna get some better looking wheels?",to,"hey,nice older truck".
