16 x 10 Ralleys? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 10-07-2002, 04:31 PM

I have not been able to find any 16 x 10 ralleys. Anyone know if these are even made? I wanted 8's in front and 10's in the rear.

Check wheel vintiques!

They are not listed on the site but I called and they have them in 16x10 for $130/ea. The 16x8's are $90/ea. I priced it all out with caps and beauty rings at $704 w/o tax, lug nuts or stems. I think I'm going to think this one through again...a little more than we wanted to spend at this time.

Ouch! I checked into a set of 15x 10s with special offset......it looked like about $155-160 a pop with shipping (just the wheels). I made a couple local calls, & was sent to Early wheel, where I got a pair of 15 x 10 shells for 35 ea,+ shipping. Pete is a good guy to talk with,or deal with. I cut the centers out of a set of 6 1/2" van ralleys & blasted them,then tapped them into the shells & set up the back space.........they are still on the bench, need to indicate them in & weld,but Ill be damned if I will pay that kind of money for steel wheels! any off shelf ralley is pretty cheap, but custom bites. my thoughts are , if you have a local bud willing to indicate & weld.....or feel like doing it yourself you can save a bunch of $. I ll try to dig up the site.... http://www.earlywheel.com/ good luck ......crazy longhorn

I have got their 15 x 10's and 15 x 8's on mine, call them back and get a quote for the 17" billet rallyes it will make the 16's sound like a good deal.

slam33 · 10-07-2002, 11:00 PM

get them at Summit, there a lot cheeper

**Bowtie468** · 10-07-2002, 11:15 PM

Hey stlookn, wow thats a heck of a difference between 15 and 16. The 16's would look sweet though. Saw a set once on a '69 camaro pace car. Man talk about get someones attention! Are you stuck on 16's or would you consider 15" ?? Here's why : Last week i called and spoke to Larry at Wheel Vintiques about some powdercoated camaro style rallys in a truck pattern. Talked about some 15x6 which were $ 77.50 each (wheel only) and also some 15x10 for $ 82.50 each. He said he has a 15x12 also. (didnt get a price on that one) We started talking about backspacing. I mentioned that i would need a little more backspacing than their standard runs offer ( now were talking custom ). I held my breath as i waited for his reply. He said, No problem Chris, just let me know exactly how much you need and we'll take care of it, for the same price. Well, needless to say i nearly dropped the phone. Larry is one cool guy, give him a call maybe he can help somehow. Good Luck

stllookn · 10-07-2002, 11:48 PM

They did seem very friendly. My son is stuck on the 16's for some reason...he knows exactly the tire and wheel combo that will look good for him. He has now switched to another wheel. I will still consider the 15's for my stepside...I am not that particular and like to see a little more tire sidewall than he does...hey it's a truck...not a go-kart!!!! I think I can get what I need for $400 with tires at the swap meet and then I will powder coat them at Larry's Stop and Coat (Orence1) in the body color I choose...LOL! I have a vision...and it does not include $700+ for wheels. This is a budget project. Those guys are great and if I get to the point where I need something very specific...they are the ones. Right now I am still trying to decide on just what ralley will look best on my truck...Truck Ralley, Corvette Ralley, Chevelle Ralley or Camaro Ralley...did I leave any out...oh yeah...Pontiac Ralley!

JD72 · 10-08-2002, 08:20 AM

here are 15 x 10's and 8's I'm running a p295/50 on the rear it looks strange cause the wheel tubs are out. Thinkin about a 15 x 12 for the rear.

JD72 · 10-08-2002, 08:21 AM

front dirty

stllookn · 10-09-2002, 12:24 AM

Those look great. We need the 16's since it will be lowered 5-5 and the control arms will hit on 15's. Need a larger wheel to clear. I guess he has looked it over pretty carefully. We have a friend with 15's lowered but the wheels don't fill the wheel well so we need a slightly larger wheel and slightly lower truck. Looks like it will Eagles or some other wheel.
