i'm really diggin the large rally's. jdurants blaze looks sick w/ his rallys enlarged and body color! that was one heck of a photoshop!

maybe he could do my truck like that?

like this?

[Hottrucks]

ok now you guys got me all wet on wide stock rallies

My buddy just had some 17's cut for his 66 ford p/u he needed to have the offset changed and made wider ( 8" to 10") because of front brake rubbing issues I gave him a quick call he said he had about $100 or so in each wheel.....still cheap $$$ for a custom wheel maybe I wil look into having my stockers cut and widened then hit with a rattle can...I can keep that old school look and still snaek a fatty under the rear.....

any Ideas what the best offset is and how wide I could go?? maybe a tire size......Dam I hate you guys for making me thin about this...Hmmmmmmm.....rally wheels $25 at the swap meets custom fab work $100...wide tires on the back of your rat rod....priceless!!

Everyone seems to be running them, but Coy's look pretty slick
and with the new offsets the offer you could have a really deep
rear wheel if you cut just a little (My 81 on Chrome 20/22's)

*Available in all Chrome, Polished, Grey centers, & Black centers

[menace121978]

steemin, yes... thats what i was thinking... but after seeing the coy's again im going to have a change of heart. the coy's look sick!!

[joe231]

I love the coys!!!

but i'm going with centerline smoothies

the wife's '66 will have gray center coys though...

[steemin_ehman]

hmm..yeah i do really like the coys... and they're a really good price as well... but again... i'm not sure i want something that alot of people have. ...but in all reality, every rim mass produced is mass produced for a reason...

Centerline has these in 22" for 189.00 each. You could paint the centers ..

You could take theses and have them water jet cut into a different pattern. As they are they are pretty much a blank slate.

[steemin_ehman]

n2trux, they come in custom sizes/backspacing? heres some more ideas: the wheels are by rushforth....

[ratty 46]

I'll have to agree with N2TRUX & as a owner of a yet to be cut 78 steppy the oversized rallies DON'T go with the rest of your ride. They did on the K5 cause his truck was a 2 tone stock appearing vehicle ....... yours is already over the top body wise. Go with the 5 spoke wheels.

menace-I'll pm you my email address. Send me the best and biggest pictures that you have and I'll see what I can do. Gimme some time though. I don't even know when I'll start right now. I wish I had photoshop at work. I wouldn't get anything done.

ehman-Do you mind if I try a couple things with your truck? I don't mind the chops of the rallies. I don't normally love that design wheel, but that last set looks like they belong on the truck.

No offense to anyone-just being honest-I do understand the attraction, but I admit it. I'm tired of seeing Coys on everything. But then again, I am kinda tired of seeing TT2s on everything. And TT2s look better! Hey, I'm also tired of looking at Camaros and Chevelles.

Even if steemin_ehman doesn't build them, somebody needs to get a big set of rallies for me to drool over.

i totally agree... thats why im looking for a way to be different. I may build the wheels anyway, out of curiosity, and the need to be different lol. if they really dont suit my truck, im sure i'd be able to get rid of them, maybe even make a little profit, to put towards some rushforth/coddington/foose or somethin a little more rare. if they DIDN'T work, who'd be interested in some custom rally wheels? -probably 20" front and rear, 8-9.5" wide in the front, and 10-12" wide in the rear. (with proper backspacing for stock track widths of course)

-jdurant, go hard with some photochoppin! i need more ideas!!! (..or inspiration) and which set were the last set you are referring to? the rushforth? or the last set of rallys?

I was refering to the split five spoke Rushforths.

I agree that if you made the rallies, and didn't like them, then you would have no problem getting rid of them for atleast what you've got in them, especially if you don't have to pay for machining . The only thing that worries me about you getting rid of them is the cost of shipping. Because I haven't the slightest where SK is.

Send me some big pics too. I've got a couple of ideas.

[menace121978]

right on thanks buddy! i'll find some this morning.

[jwa76fleetside]

l like how your truck looked with the old wheels. get some chrome 20's similiar to the old ones. imo

[jwa76fleetside]

[steemin_ehman]

thank-you for the compliment! the front bumper on my truck is actually the rear "bumper section" of a 89-98 chevy box, and some custom rolled steel. Dad'n i designed and built 'er. it was loads of fun, but alot of hours involved. heres a link to pics of the front roll-pan build-up: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2461475/2

Coddington F-09... 22" ish

[silvereagle07]

I like the bright silver in the last pic. Are they the wheels off of Todd Edmons truck?

[menace121978]

nice job Joseph! looks like you got busy last night

[tvblazer78]

I have been looking in on this post and have not said anything because Ken has been doing a good job with helping you out. But when I saw this pic and said we have gone from wheels to now paint? That's ok, but you don't have to make such a big change, but this pic shows off the gray wheels very nicely. If you go with gray wheel this look makes it.

I struggled with whether I should even post those. I hope I didn't step on any toes. I just thought it would look good, and thought you guys would probably like to see it too. Since ehman said, "jdurant, go hard with some photochoppin! i need more ideas!!! (..or inspiration)", I figured it would be ok.

That one is my favorite too. I actually planned to work on it some more in the next few days.

Hi , i stumbled upon this , and i really dig the first photoshop with the grey paint pieces on the side.
I wander what it would look like with the black chromed wheels.
Since i am going for a blue C10 (not dark blue) , i would like to ask if jdurant could do a photoshop of that?
It's a C10 stepside just like this , but blue, i'm still working on the chassis and lowering it all together, in 2 months it should be painted.
I really dig the House of colour bleu(Mark Barbee C10) maybe a bit less brighter.
So , JDURANT or somebody else, if you would like to do a PS , i would really appreciate it.
When i have the time i will post my pics of the rebuild.
At the moment it's all in pieces.
I hope i didn't make any mistakes , i'm not used to posting these things.
