Center Caps for "Merlot" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-05-2007, 06:21 PM

Ok, Ok, Ok, some of you have suggested I run the Corvette Rally's on "Merlot"

So now you all have to help me pick out the Center caps for it, I'm stuck

Center Caps Linky > http://wheelvintiques.com/shopsite_s...ml/page84.html

*This is a Multiple choice poll so you can vote for ALL of the ones you like.

Here are my wheels, they are Corvette Rally's, 17 x 8, 4.5 BS, and Silver

PS - Is $30 ea. bad for used 17" tires? My buddy's shop has some nice ones.

NTR72GMC · 04-05-2007, 06:27 PM

I like the 1000 and the 1008 ,but Im going to have to vote the 1008.

cstanley · 04-05-2007, 06:32 PM

yup, the 1008s look swank. nice n' smooth, like merlot will be. i've been looking at the derby caps, myself...

71SWBChevy · 04-05-2007, 08:15 PM

I had to go with the 1012 A Derby caps craig, I think those are the SWEETEST looking centers for rally wheels no matter what they are on. If I get some rallys that is what will be on them!

Chevyman63 · 04-05-2007, 09:10 PM

I like the 1012A & 1015. I forgot to vote for the WTF.

Just out of curiosity, what would the 73-up Rally's on "Merlot" be worth?

(Don't really see a point in starting a WIW thread)

I need the $ for Rubbers

(For the 17" Rally's)

**N2TRUX** · 04-06-2007, 12:18 AM

Since I don't care for rallye wheels I voted for WTF...

gringoloco · 04-06-2007, 01:51 AM

1026 FTW! (for the win!) Here's my reasoning:

My first instinct was in line with the rest of the voters- 1012A derby w/Bowtie. Upon further consideration, I realized that your Blazer(Jimmy) is A)NOT a Camaro and B)a unique looking vehicle. To hell with convention- do something different and memorable. This will also go very well with the roofrack/surfer theme IMHO.

My two cents. Take it for what it's worth...

I kinda dig em, the #1025 is toooo tall of a cap, but the #1026 is short

I hear ya, well they came WITH the deal, I looked them up, & the
PO spent close to a grand on them with the trim rings. (Unless they were
on sale at some point when he ordered them) & I don't have the funds at
this moment to get what I really want. ($3850 for just the wheels no tires
for the rims I really, really want. And no I can't tell ya what they are

)
So it was buy some centers caps, some rubbers, and run them for a while,
or sell them which won't really get me that far towards my new wheels

Rokcrln · 04-06-2007, 07:41 AM

Just be like me, it's a good thing

But go with taller tires!

What size are your tires? And what size are those rims? Are they 17's?

What about the 1020-C? It's going to end up with an old school look with the surfboard rack, right? Although, if they ae going to be semi-temporary (a couple of years before you can afford the other wheels) the derby caps would probably make them easier to sell when that time comes.

superjeer · 04-06-2007, 07:59 AM

The police type seem clean and interesting. I voted 1000-S

**special-K** · 04-06-2007, 10:48 AM

I don`t like to tell people what they should do.If I told you,it would be one I don`t like so yours would be different

.If I did say,I`d say put`59 Rambler Ambassador full wheelcovers on it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-06-2007, 11:16 AM

Tim, you are one of a kind

Let's all be thankful for that

I like the Police ones also. Smooth, but still some style to them

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-08-2007, 08:00 AM

Anyone else? I have a leader, but it's a close race

*72CSTC5* · 04-08-2007, 06:25 PM

Dude sell those things and get the 159.00 dollar centerline specials and then some cheap general 20" tires. Sell what you have and that should help fund some of that.

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-08-2007, 07:11 PM

Can't, I don't care for the "Specials" styles, plus if I go bigger I am going
with a staggered set, but I do appreciate the advice you have given me.

1969k10stepside · 04-08-2007, 07:15 PM

To be honest Luv,I like the borrowed

that was on Merlot at your BBQ.Makes me really want a 2wd Blazer

D, I liked the look out back, but if I cut the cups in the front one more inch,
I have the tall ones in right now, I'll have to ditch the inners fenders to do
20's on all 4 corners. But if I stay with a staggered set like 18/20's instead
then I can still cut that cup, then it can still be driven completely aired out.
At any rate, it's going to be 17" Vette rally's until further notice / "GQ" sells.

*Edit - Hey D, why don't I just make her into a 4wd

5150 · 04-08-2007, 11:47 PM

Well, he's not getting those

**Canadian694x4** · 04-09-2007, 07:00 PM

1012A...

slogo · 04-09-2007, 07:06 PM

Had these on mine for awhile

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-11-2007, 09:13 PM

I still don't know, waiting on a E-mail from Wheel Vintiques about the trim rings, I had a few questions

*Edit - Just checked my E-mail

and the rings are SS, so that might eliminate some choices
