what kind of rims are these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SnS C10 · 06-01-2015, 03:10 PM

Hey everyone. I just bought this 64 and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of rim they are? Aftermarket or original to another car? They are steel, 15 inch and 6 lug

1963c-10 · 06-01-2015, 03:55 PM

Look like the old chevy ralley wheels

SnS C10 · 06-01-2015, 04:17 PM

Sweet. They made those rally wheels in 6 lug?

1963c-10 · 06-01-2015, 04:21 PM

Yes although the 5 lug was more popular.

You don't see the 6 lugs that often.

**Palf70Step** · 06-01-2015, 04:54 PM

The look like the aftermarket versions of the car ralleys, which make both 5 and 6 lug in several bolt patterns.

SnS C10 · 06-01-2015, 05:12 PM

Cool thanks guys. Trying to figure out the best way to bring the chrome back out since they have been sitting for 7 years. Any ideas?

**Palf70Step** · 06-01-2015, 05:51 PM

Maguire's chrome cleaner/polish works well. If they are too far gone, you can still get those repop chrome caps and rings

Steel wool or SOS pads? This will bring them back somewhat. They may be badly pitted sitting for that long.

wilbur46 · 06-04-2015, 08:58 PM

Hiya,
I think these are aftermarket rallys, very common.
Chrome just can't be fixed once its dulled or flakey.
I've had them rechromed (In T.J. since I live in Calif) but still $$
I'd get them stripped by a chrome shop and paint them silver.
You can strip them your self with pool acid and a big battery charger, but you better watch a lot of utube videos if you haven't done if before.

**66 C10 383** · 06-04-2015, 10:58 PM

As far as I know, Chevy only made those style Rally wheels in 5 lug and they were the 5x4 3/4" bolt pattern. Nova/Camaro/Corvette etc. Camaro & probably Nova were either 14" or 15". Vette was the only one that got the 15x8's.

A 5x5 or 6 lug pattern would be aftermarket.

Depending on if they are Wheel Vintiques or U.S. Wheel, you can buy new center caps just like those for as low as $21.00 each.

I'm not too big on this type of rally. Anyone have a picture of these on a lowered truck?

donthekawguy · 06-05-2015, 09:16 AM

I just got rid of my chrome 6 lug rally's. I had 2 15x10 and 4 15x8. I swapped over to 5 lug and have a set of 15x7 in front and will have 15x10 in the back when my tires get here next week. here's a pic of the chrome ones and the front powdercoated black with chrome cop caps.

This is absolutely correct (although my '74 Chevelle came with 15x8 rallys).

At last count I had 22 of these, ranging from 14x6 to 15x10 (homemade).

Haha keith they are okay. I'm gonna stick with them for now. Maybe they will grow on me

Keith Seymore · 06-05-2015, 11:17 AM

I've just always been a fan of the steel styled wheel with trim ring/cap concept.

You can also get them in larger sizes (diameter & width).
Here you go.

SnS C10 · 06-06-2015, 12:36 AM

Wow those actually look very nice on these trucks. Guess I'm gonna have to keep them and find some smaller tires to slam the truck
