U.S. Wheel 55 Series Silver Rallye Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody out there used U.S. Wheel 55 Series Silver Rallye Wheels, USW-55-5760L?

I am considering a set for my 69 GMC, 6 bolt, 15 X 7, 4.25 backspace.

Anybody now the difference between USW-55-5760L and USW-55-5760 (no L). Summit racing lists both part numbers, but the specifications appear to be identical.

Anybody running 15 X 7, 4.25 backspace? They should fit?

stab in the dark... maybe thats something to do with one being hubcentric and the other isnt?

"L" is for disc brakes.

Thanks, I just recieved the price quote back from the dealer in the next town and WOW, he wants $165 a wheel.

I believe that a hubcentric wheel is one with a large hub hole in the middle, so it fits older axles; newer wheels have a small hub hole, so they won't fit without milling the hole out. And I believe that the new style is called Lugcentric. But I'm not sure. I AM sure, however, that if I am wrong, someone will correct me.

I have a set of Rally wheels for sale, not sure if they will work for you or not. They came off of a 70 C10 6lug.
