Are all Rally's like of this era the same? 15X8? These look kinda wimpy to me. I've heard the term "Deep Dish Rally", is that a different wheel? Will the thicker Chrome trim ring make these look better? thanks.

I know tires will help too, they'll be coming soon!

Purs · 02-04-2003, 08:42 PM

All I want is my truck to look something like this...

Is that asking too much?

I like that altitude/ attitude adjustment.

The rallies came ....6 1/2" (van), 7", & 8 ". I have a set of 8" on the back of my 69, & 6 1/2" up front. The rears have a deeper ring from a Pontiac.... http://community.webshots.com/user/hotrodhorn & also 275/60/15 tires

Purs · 02-04-2003, 08:54 PM

is there an identifying number on the back of the wheel or do I have to take the tire off and measuer it? thanks.

crazy longhorn · 02-04-2003, 08:59 PM

Those look about right on the offset to be an 8"....I think they will be stamped 15x8 on the back side....

**72 Super** · 02-04-2003, 09:07 PM

Those are 8inch rallies with the skinny trim rings that came on them in early 90's.I think the rings that came on the late 70' through mid 80's where about 3 inches deep and the the real deep ones you see are the 4 inch corvette ralley type.You can get those in aftermarket or GM but they are costly

my rallys

Purs · 02-04-2003, 10:10 PM

I think I had the rings you guys are talking about on my old Jimmy (in the pic) and on my current 4x4 truck. The guy I bought them from said they were stainless steel...? Anyway, I think they look alot better than the skinny rings.

**72 Super** · 02-05-2003, 08:47 AM

Yes those are the wide Corvette ones.They look the best to me

Where did you get, or how did you make your spinner caps?

I would like to do that to a set of 15 x 8s.

Thanks,

Scott

crazy longhorn · 02-05-2003, 03:38 PM

I have a set of those spinners on my ralleys, they just bolt to the end of the cap. i got a good deal on mine......my bro inlaw had a new set that he didnt like....& gave them to me! i think you can get them through Summit racing...... crazyL

FISHEAD, TRIM RINGS ARE CORVETTE STYLE AND THE SPINNERS CAME FROM A LOCAL TIRE SHOP BUT THE CENTER BOWTIES AND THE TRIM RINGS CAME FROM COKER TIRE. MY TRIM RINGS ARE THE SAME AS PURS. THE SPINNERS ARE ALL AROUND TOWN IVE EVEN SEEN EM AT BIG LOTS ONCE BUT I THINK COKER HAS EM. HOPE THIS INFO HELPS. DAN

Thanks for the info. I have all the parts but the spinner caps.

I guess the hunt for just the right part and right price is part of the fun with these trucks.

I also keep toying with the idea of using 4x4 caps and add bearings to the spinners just to be different, but I doubt the livestock would really notice the extra effort.
