Ralleys or caps?

First post.
Lowered with early classic spindles 1" front springs and 5" back springs. Ralleys are 255/60, 275/60. Caps are 235/75 all around.

Those wheelcovers will fit the rallyes too

It's funny that you posted this, I'm having the same debate with the same color truck.

Thank you for posting both pics!

Edit: I was also thinking Ralleys without the beauty rings to show the lip (I have 15 x 8's)

I like the wider tires so I may have to try the caps on the rallys. Not sure how they would look with white letter vs white walls. The smaller tires ride better too. I also need to put the stock springs back in front to pick it up. Long tube headers keep dragging.

I like the caps, myself

Can you do the caps on the rallys so I can see caps with RWL tires? I'd love to see it.

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
Since you have the Chevelle with rallyes, I'd look at it as the both together. Either will look great with the car. The question is do you want a matched pair or a classy combination. I like both and both are classy alone. I love the covers (not caps). I would say both since, as Ledzepp mentioned, you can run the wheelcovers on the rallyes. But for me narrow whitewalls are mandatory for wheelcovers and blackwall or letters are for rallyes.

Gotta be a tough decision since the truck looks fantastic with either. I used to run alternative sets, but tires just don't last even with one set, and I don't have multiple trucks any more.

Caps on the driver side and rallies on the passenger. Solved.:mm:

I like the wheel covers/ white line combo myself. I never cared for rallyes on trucks.

I like the wheelcovers better, but they both look good.

My friend had the same wheelcovers on his truck and they looked great, a little too great..somebody stole them.

Keep them both and swap them out from time to time.

The caps are getting hard to come by lately, so to be unique, go with them. Or you can just switch them out every once in awhile.

I say caps, truck looks great!

Wheel covers get my vote.

68bowtie 05-03-2017 12:10 PM

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
first of all you can't go wrong either way. beautiful truck...

my vote is wheel covers and factory height springs! :metal:

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
Sorry, I'm doing caps, so you are stuck with the rallys...


I like caps on a lowered truck, something about it just works for me.

Nice truck, it looks great with either, Rg

No question....the caps look the coolest....and definitely compliment the lowered chassis.
Very nice truck....really nice.

Nice truck, both look good

Rally's if you want a sporty look
Caps if you want a stock old guy look

Me personally I like the rally's

Spullar 05-03-2017 02:26 PM

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
I like the caps with the whitewalls. They seem to fill the wheel wells more completely. I agree with Coley, they seem to compliment the stance more.

OR....Rally's if you want an 1980's look....
and caps if you want a modern stealth/lowered cool 'ahead of the curve' look.

Count me in on the PO1's ! Also is it just me or do longs beds rock ! That middle white just makes it for me !....:metal:

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
Nice truck. Yes I do like the normal size bed also. To me with the ralleys the truck looks like it's been lowered but with the caps it doesn't.

71CHEVYSHORTBED402 05-03-2017 03:44 PM

Re: Ralleys or caps?
 
Both.....Ha! My first instinct was the rally wheels, but......You can always switch em up, and as Zep pointed out you don't have remount tires.
