Here's mine, painted the yellow/orange caps the same color as the rims(coating in a can) and painted the center bowtie and ring red, goes nice with the red grill emblem and I had the chevrolet on the tailgate painted the same...

I put the Vette/Camaro style Rallys on my truck back in the mid 90's, painted to match the body, with truck centers.

The black ones I just put on my 77 are 88+ Rallys, powdercoated gloss black, with chrome centers and black lug nut covers.

68Timber · 02-19-2010, 09:12 PM

I like to see the painted steel wheels put to use. I've got a set of the 15x8 rally's sandblasted and primed, almost ready to go on my daughter's truck.

Here are the steel wheels that were on my truck. They're just painted the same color as my truck with a narrow ring and Chevy truck center cap. If you get the car rallies you could add a moon center or something. Name: front old wheel.jpg

Here are some pics of custom oem/rally wheels.

I've seen the sport truck pics before........ Anyone have more info on these wheels?

Slammed '87 · 02-08-2011, 12:29 PM

I had an old set of 8 spoke wheels that i got for free. I thought i'd clean them up a lil and use them as winter wheels. I just painted them to match the body, added trim rings and GM center caps with spinners. The were nothing special, but actually had a few guys ask me if i wanted to sell them. They were 15 x 7's and 15 x 10's.

3r!c84 · 02-08-2011, 12:37 PM

Hey Slammed '87...Where did you get the rear window curtians?

No, they're reproductions, fit like regular Chevy rally wheel caps.

4pilgrim4 · 02-09-2011, 05:30 PM

I'm ashamed to post mine after seeing the beautiful shiny paint your wheels are sporting.

I just used thick black Hammerite on the centers and thick silver Hammerite on the rims about 10 years ago. It was just a quick brush on job at the time to cover over all the nicks and scratches from the original wheel rings that I discarded.

Add to that -- this is my daily driver/beater and it hasn't even been washed since before Christmas. With the weather as it is, I'm not much into washing trucks unless they actually need it. :>/ Even my wife's Caddy is pretty grimey.

jchav62 · 02-09-2011, 05:39 PM

I had these on before I went with the Rockets...

I bought mine from a guy at GoodGuys Charlotte a couple years ago. He's a vendor out of Raleigh NC, I see him at all the big shows in Virginia and the Carolinas. I might have one of his flyers in the garage, may take me a few days to look/find it. They're a GM licensed product and I think I paid $100.00 for all 4 new in the box.

I tried looking online a few minutes ago, wanted to post a link for you, nothing. I'll keep looking.

Thank You very much!! I will take any info you can get for me. I purchased a set of 10" chrome rally's a few month's back and they came with just the smooth dog dish,but I really like the one's you have with the chevy emblems.
Thanks Again!!!!
