Super rare, 15x7 (6-lug) ralley wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 08-23-2009, 09:44 PM

Here they are,... for the truck owners that thought they didn't exist.

I purchased these 4 wheels this past weekend, at a Springfield, MO swap meet.
These are just like the normal 15x8 4x4 truck ralley wheels, (6-lug), except they are only 7" wide.
I was trying to find a set for member 72BlckButy to use on the front of his "newly lowered" '69 swb.

I couldn't believe it when I walked up and spotted them.
Two of them are already spoken for,... but I'm trying to decide if I should keep them or let them go.
These are great for you 63-70 guys that switch to disc brakes and want to keep your truck 6-lug up front.
These help reduce the added track width of the disc brake conversion.

I was so stoked, to actually find some,... I just had to post a pic.

i bet Nate is stoked!

Longhorn Man · 08-23-2009, 10:17 PM

may as well sell him the whole set, he'll have a hard time finding 2 more that have the same size/number of holes.

mclairmo · 08-23-2009, 10:20 PM

What did these come on from the factory?

Nates running 8's on the back and 7's up front to help hide the track width issues of the disc brake conversion,... along with the "narrower" 67-70 rearend.

DragRag · 08-23-2009, 10:31 PM

I have a set of these 6 lug rally wheels on my 69'. I didn't realize they were that hard to find.

I believe they were on the early to mid 70's 4x4 gmc Jimmys . They are very hard to come by. Most people think they are 15x8's.

If you look at Nates (72BlckButy) "Blank Slate" thread in the 67-72 projects section,... you'll see how far the 15x8 ralleys stick outside the fenders after doing a disc brake swap and lowering the front.

I have a single that was the factory spare for a 76 truck. I think it was also listed on the spid, but the truck is long gone to check...

I get why he is doing it... I understood all that.
I guess I shoulda typed out "little square holes around the parimeter of the hub"... i kinda figured anyone would just take a glance at these wheels and see that they don't ,atch the typical rally wheel. Yours has 10 holes, mine has 16.

Verses

So, like I said, you may as weell consider selling the whole set to nate so his truck doesn't have mis matched lookin wheels

tcb-1 · 08-24-2009, 07:12 AM

an early Christmas present for Nate?? great score Keith.

The 15x7's DO match the 15x8 6-lug ralleys,... so they won't be mis-matched.
They are a different wheel than your 5-lug ralleys.

**special-K** · 08-24-2009, 07:55 AM

That`s a fake picture.Those aren`t real!!

Even alot of guys with 71/72s run 7" 5-lug rallyes up front when using drop spindles or to give a big/little look.i`m sure someone would kill for them.

70k52wd · 08-24-2009, 08:24 AM

Great find. A needle in a haystack. Keep the other two, they're so hard to find. You never know what the next project will need. OR, sell them to me.

I hope to have updates tonight.

tcb-1 · 08-24-2009, 12:58 PM

I'd buy the other two..... but 17" steelies are my future..... shhhhhh.

glad Keith found those for you Nate!

prostreetC-10 · 08-24-2009, 01:17 PM

Can't you have those built aftermarket. Isn't that the "C" rally? I'm not up on these types but I thought the aftermarket companies can build these in any width you want Like this company....

Stockton offers the 6-lug truck ralleys (4x4 ralleys is what they call them) in sizes that are great... well, for a 4x4; but not so great for a lowered truck.

The rare 7" truck ralleys have less width & still work on the discs while matching the easy to find 6-lug 4x4 8" ralleys.

stealthy '69 · 08-24-2009, 06:43 PM

Hey Keith,
If you can't find anyone to take those off your hands, let me know. I think the wife and I are due for another road trip. I think we'll even bring something to drink this time instead of drinking all of yours.

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-24-2009, 07:38 PM

Well, you got me. I walked right by them without noticing. Though, I did pick up some great truck parts, and kick myself for not buying those NOS Rocker Panels for $75 at 7:30 am. Trevor

sighlurr · 08-24-2009, 08:21 PM

Just a head's up - I just got off the phone with Stockton Wheel and they'll make you a 15x7 wheel for around $100. But you'll need to supply them with the center section of the original wheel.

tr69c10 · 08-24-2009, 09:39 PM

I did mine with 6.5 in wheel hoops there is a place in bellflower ca that did mine you take him your 8" and he puts what ever size hoops you want and back space I paid less than hundred bucks at Collins wheel

I'd sell my two,... for $100 each.
PM me if you are interested.

paps69 · 08-24-2009, 10:20 PM

When I bought the property I live on I found one of these in an old barn. I saved it but had little hope of finding another one. A few months later a buddy of mine called me saying he got jipped on a set of 6 lug ralleys. He said one of them didn't match. I knew it was too good to be true but I threw an extra 8" ralley I had in my truck and headed to his house. Sure enough he had gotten a 7" and three 8s. He was glad to trade with me!!! I left his house and bought a lottery ticket. I didn't win any money but I got the mate to my 7" ralley so I was tickled to death

powell72 · 08-24-2009, 10:31 PM

I can't believe you found FOUR that quick!
You guys have me searching for them too, I was at a swap meet this weekend and had those in the back of my mind.
