Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
Ok. I'm new to the site and new to truck ownership. Not sure where this question goes but my 67 came with some "CORVETTE" rims. Their six lug, but I didn't think Corvette rally rims came 6 lug. Heck maybe these are just rally wheels with corvette caps? Some random wheels previous owner had laying around perhaps?
Any thoughts? I have looked all over web and cant seem to decode the wheels. Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction. Are they worth anything? Either way I'm not using them on my truck. Just some roll around for chassis now. My apologizes if this is the wrong place to post this question. Thanks |

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
Not vette except for the name on the stickers on the center caps. Standard truck rally wheels, 15x8". they would have come off of a 4x4 truck from the mid 70's on. They are a great wheel that looks as nice on the 67-72's as the trucks they were designed for, IMO.

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
Na. These are not Vette wheels. They are truck rallys with a cheesy corvette sticker on the center caps.

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
def truck rallys BUT they do make 6 lug vette rallys and IMHO they look killer in on these trucks. I may or may not run a set on my 68

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
The caps are correct for the wheels. They just need a Chevy sticker on em.

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
Those wheels are 73-87 1/2-ton 4x4 ralley wheels.
There is a correct bowtie emblem, but they are kinda hard to find.

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
The 6 lug Vette rallys have less holes and like rally's that came on Corvette/Camaro

Re: Wheels on my new ride?? Corvette wheels?
Hey I work for a nation wide tire/wheel company. The wheels you have are off 4x4 k5 blazer I have had a bunch of the wheels on my truck they look good. You can put newer chevy caps in the wheels just use the stock holes in the wheels and run them in from the back. The new caps have plugs in them just pull them out with a pair of pliers and use self tapping screws they fit good and look good as well! But as the others have shown you corvette wheels are a little different than the 6 lug wheels you have if you have any other wheel tire questions just ask also I run 275/60/15 on the wheels lowered or stock height that size looks good but when it comes to that each their own
