Ralley wheel color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kmfb · 10-08-2011, 10:55 AM

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.

J Knight · 10-08-2011, 02:28 PM

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

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.

spray them body color

kmfb · 10-08-2011, 07:21 PM

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!

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.

71swb4x4 · 10-08-2011, 10:49 PM

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

J Knight · 10-08-2011, 11:05 PM

Looks like 5x5in.

kmfb · 10-08-2011, 11:08 PM

durty harry · 10-09-2011, 12:36 PM
