Looking for used wheels or original hubcaps
I have a 1973 Chevy Suburban that my father bought new, we had it restored last winter. The only thing left that I'm missing is either a nice looking set of wheels for a fairly low price, or the original Chevy hubcaps that went with this thing. Here's a couple pics, I think you'll know what I mean when you see them. It looks "unfinished" without something nice on the rims. The beauty rings just aren't cutting it. If you have either of these options or could toss me suggestions on where to start looking, I'd sure appreciate it. It's a four-wheel drive, so I need to take that into account also.

Show me some pics of the rallies you're talking about and we'll see. I can't spend a whole lot of money, my wife and I are both first year teachers and the first baby is coming in about 7 weeks, so we're scrimping, but I don't want to go another summer without good looking wheels.

They are just the factory rallies. With trim rings and center caps....but the factory grey and all. Nothing fancy.

Nice looking suburban...LOVE IT!
The wheels you appear to be running are what look like factory spare rims with beauty rims added. You should be able to pick up some factory 15X8.5 rims fairly cheap...search e-bay like Dave mentioned (use "rallye", "ralley", or "rally" in your search...you will find lots!). The hardest thing will be finding "nice" centers and rings to go with them...and don't skimp, get nice ones to match the rest of the nice work! BTW - is that a late model roof rack?...looks cool! On a side note, my truck was the exact same color as your from the factory, only mine had white in the center. -Jeff **EDIT** stay away from newer rally wheels such as these, IMO they look to "plain". http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6782 Here are some 6-lug rally wheels I found on e-bay in case you were interested... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6782 here are some alum ones... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33748 Last edited by bigblock73; 03-17-2003 at 02:04 PM. |

Beautiful suburban! Can't help you on the rims more than what others have added. You may search local salvage yards.

The roof rack is a late-model, made of plastic unfortunately, but that's all the body guy said he could get, and it looks good. I found a guy that has dog-dish Chevy hubcaps with trim that matches my paint color, so I think I'm going to go with that, I've looked for centers that are worth getting, but had very little luck.
