I put the beauty ring on to see what it was going to look like...I like it a lot. Now I need to find a truck rally center cap for my spare.

That has always been my favorite look.
Black wheels with beauty rings. Simple and classic.

Ah there we go then mystery solved other than if I have a mix of van and truck or all 1 or the other.

I was thinking of painting them the same color as my wheels now..gun metal gray, but the matte black is a nice look. What do you think?

My typical set-ups are Van Ralleys in front; 8" truck Ralleys in the rear on budget set-ups. The 7" wheels are harder to find thus cost more when you do find some & the aftermarket widths wider than 8" are similarly more expensive.

I vote to paint the spare the same color. If you had it up underneath the bed, black would be fine, but since it's on the bedside and visible, making it match would look better in my opinion

I agree..

**pdxhall** · 05-26-2021, 01:24 PM

The spare is a nice finishing touch. I would paint it the same as your wheels.

aggie91 · 05-28-2021, 01:07 PM

Truck is coming along nicely.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-29-2021, 05:32 PM

Oh ya that'l be a cool spare.

roll_the_dice · 05-29-2021, 07:24 PM

Thanks guys...I am going to paint it the same color as the rallys... gun metal gray. I think I may buy 4 more of these wheels and have a set of 5 matching and then eventually sell these 15x7 rally's.

Today I received some new rally cap emblems I special ordered from a seller in Portugal on Etsy. I told him what colors I wanted. I think these will look good on the caps...I will be keeping the caps on the new wheels. Here is a sneak peak...

roll_the_dice · 05-31-2021, 02:59 PM

Installed my 4 way flasher today...

**cwcarpenter98** · 05-31-2021, 11:32 PM

That flasher looks real good down there. I wish they sold just the knob separately!

Thanks Christian! I had to hunt high and low and got lucky to find that switch with the Bow Ties...the other switch I have has no markings on it at all.

Oof, that's more than I paid for the switch itself with a GMC knob on it!

I've read that the 2040-parts website is a scam website.

Thanks for the heads up.

roll_the_dice · 07-15-2021, 03:24 PM

Finally started working on my spare wheel...drilled and tapped for the truck rally cap and added a custom made red center decal.

roll_the_dice · 08-23-2021, 08:10 PM

Just been driving the truck and getting ready for my move north. Moving to upstate NY in the next few months. My wife has already started her new job up there...living with her mom for now. Getting the house here ready to sell and looking for a house near Syracuse.

Finally installed my red rally cap decals...I like the look...a little different and a small pop of color. I also painted my new spare wheel to match the gray on the rally's..but no picture yet. Going to try and get the tire mounted later this week also.

Looks really good Andy...Love the wheels

aggie91 · 09-01-2021, 09:05 AM

Wheels turned out nice!

350TacoZilla · 09-01-2021, 10:18 AM

^agree with all above lol very nice looking with the paint and trim

roll_the_dice · 09-12-2021, 10:24 AM

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I haven't gotten the spare mounted yet...maybe today. Guess I have been lazy.

I have had the truck back on the road since early December last year and just hit 3000 miles. I did an oil change at 500 miles and also changed out the plugs at 1000 miles as they were fouled from when I was tuning the engine from running super rich.

I did install sun visors this week though. I went with black since my seat was black, but maybe I should have done gray since my roof is silver...either way, I am not used to them yet since the passenger side never had one and I haven't had one on the DS in years.
