Ralley wheel color?

I bought some 5 slot ralleys a while ago on CL with some repop centers and decent tires for $550. Tires are brand new but have some dry checking on the sides(not bad but I still noticed it) The wheels are kind of a dirty off white and im thinking id like to paint them a different color. Im just looking for opinions on what you guys would think would look good with my truck. I also ordered my Bellltech spindles and springs to fix my camber issues and bump it up a hair.

I would just paint them regular rally wheel silver. That should look good.

Silver or body color.
If I did silver, I'd just use the center cap, If I did body color, I use the tirm rings and center caps.

Id say yellow like the body If not than metallic black looks great with the chrome rings on rally wheels.

Re: Ralley wheel color?

Body color, with caps and rings since you have all the body molding on the truck. BTW nice price on the wheels.

Re: Ralley wheel color?

Dont do yellow on the wheels, would be way to bright. I think a nice charcoal color would look best up against the yellow paint.

Re: Ralley wheel color?

well the truck will eventually get a white roof and white siding(and a new yellow paint job). Im kinda entertaining the idea of matching the rims to the body, I kinda like being bright!

Re: Ralley wheel color?

Are the front and rears different bolt patterns? Maybe the center circles are different and makes the bolt pattern look different

This made me panic for a minute so I ran out to the garage and measured. The wheels are 5x4 3/4, I really started to panic. I ran outside and measured my truck, truck has been converted to 5x4 3/4 as well. I even test fit one on the rear to make sure. I lucked out in a big way.

Thats big time lucky, what are the odds of buying the wrong wheels and your truck already converted to fit those wheels? Astronomical.

Re: Ralley wheel color?

Are you measuring them like this? Center of one hole to outside edge of the other?
