Rallye wheels

[jhwkns]

I've recently acquired a set of Blazer rallye wheels. Does anyone know the correct paint code, and what are my center cap options? Pictures please.

CORRECT? since rally wheels weren't available on any 67-72 chevy trucks correct color is anything you want

later years the color was silver argent

argent silver id powdercoat em tx firefighter on here seems to do great work! rallys didnt come into play until 73

Thanks guys, I was aware that there were no rallyes 67-72 I just wanted the correct color for reference.

Does anyone have a solution for the center cap problem?

[michael bustamante]

5 or 6 lug. Different venter caps. as the 6 luugers were 4wd, and only had 2 closed centercaps

[cdowns]

two places i'd check for center caps r wheel vintiques and jcwhitney also has a selection to choose from

[Keith Seymore]

I use Duplicolor FM149 for all my argent needs...

Jhwkns,I had no problem understanding your simple question.5 and 6 lug rallyes were the same color anyway,ay?I used what Eastwood sells and it`s spot-on as well as tough as nails paint.Keith Seymore`s look correct.I`ll have to put that info in my files for the future.
For truck rallye wheel center caps,which Wheel Vintiques and Whitney don`t offer,I like the 88-98 style better than what came with rallyes.There`s a pop-on type and a bolt onto the lugs type...that`s what you want.A tire ston get you the conversion duplex-type lugs you need.You need 1/2" and the 88-98s were 13mm thread on the studs.I don`t have any pictures,but in 72Super`s Carlisle thread is a sweet shortbed with this set-up.

Thanks Tim; I had seen that before, and that was what I was looking for. I wasn't sure what years were the desirable ones came from. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure my lugs are 7/16?

Is this the picture you were talking about?

[special-K]

These are the 88-98.But,they are 5-lug.I believe the 6-lug always have 4x4 medallions.I think you do have 7/16" with drums.I`d think the conversion lugs are made but could be wrong.Disc brakes take 1/2".If it`s just 4x4 medallion on the correct centers for pre-92 Rallyes there is a bowtie medallion the exact same size that went on those full wheel covers from about 78-85.They have 6 pyrmid shaped simulated lugs.I got some from Chevy,but they say someone sells them on Ebay.I have one 6-lug bowtie center cap that is the design that snaps over a special lug nut and may not be available in a conversion.I never looked into it,but bought the one to experiment on a`70 and never followed through with the lugs.

Thanks again Tim; It looks like I'll have to research this a little deeper on my own.

The blue stepside in the picture has what seems to be just a regular Blazer cap. I wanted to do something a little different.

[special-K]

I was talking about a red`72,but it I realized it had something else after going for the picture.Hoe about the 88-98 4x4 caps with spinners covering the 4x4 medallion?

[blyguy]

maybe a stupid question but what came stock on these trucks then. i assumed it was the rallyes?

Good idea. That might look cool.

There were a few different hubcaps used. The most common probably were the dog dishes with bowties on them.
