Re: painted rally wheels
I was painting some rallys black also. Thanks for the sneak peek at the final results. They look way better than the Cragars.

Re: painted rally wheels
Painted rally wheels look good. I did mine in a bronze color and did my center caps and trim rings white.

Re: painted rally wheels
Looks great! Powdercoated mine in Rally charcoal silver. Haven't had time to install the rear end and decide which trim ring I am going to use.

Re: painted rally wheels
The thinner late model truck trim rings show off more of the wheels detail; the thicker rings 'hide' more.

Re: painted rally wheels
I think the black looks good. I dont like all rallyes painted, but the black is nice.
Also I like the thicker rings, it gives more

They look good on a standard color rally but kind of defeat the purpose of painting the wheels. I have red rally's on my K5 and took the rings off because they covered too much. My girlfriends dad had steelies with "baby moons" on her truck and had these little tiny rings that couldn't have been more than 1" - 1-1/2" wide. If they would fit on rally's I would buy some but haven't had the cance to look into them yet.

Re: painted rally wheels
my vote ;;use the ones that show off the wheel more, also makes the truck look cool going down the road. the thinner chrome ring is my choice. "nuff said " :Chevy:
