knowing there is 2 options what is every one running on there 2wd ? my rig is 2wd owered 2.5" and 12 bolt rear .

I have Vision American Muscle 55 Rally wheels bookmarked as a possibility. Have you considered those? They have good reviews and seem to fit stock hubcaps too based on what I've read.

I wouldn't buy a WV rally rim again, can't get them to balance out, can't send them back, their disclaimer is once the tires are mounted your on your own BS.
Check these guys out instead.

funny you should say that . go look at the part#'s of the truck rally for both places . . . there the exact same .

and i always check my rims on the balancer first . 15+ years i did wheels and tires in a shop . but i wasnt the sale guy just the install guy .

i am leaning to the 15x8 i have for the rear and i have atleast 1 good maybe 2 of the G-series van 15x6.5 i can do for the front end . this would get me a good skinny/fat look .

I run a 15x8 4” front and a 15x10 5” rear BS.

So I've bought from WV a bunch recently, and even when the say they're back ordered they have shipped before their estimated date. I just bought my latest set of 16x8 8 luggers and they said backordered until August. They are set to arrive today. I can confirm that they aren't always the easiest to balance, but my tire/wheel guy said that's not too uncommon for steel wheels... I'm no expert, but I've bought 3 full sets in the past 3 years, plus a set of rears for my impala, and a spare for Sweet Pea and so far no issues whatsoever... (thats 15 wheels if you're counting I guess I'm keeping these guys in business!)

Bought All 5 of my WV from Jegs with no problems last year all balanced fine. All 16 x 8".

Many good reviews on WV from guys I hang with.

Compared to Stockton Wheel they were much more reasonable and you get a new wheel to boot!

I think Stockton wheel wanted $300 a wheel for a similar combo to what I got from WV.

well i just ordered 4 cooper cobra tires .

235/70/15 for the front and 255/70/15 for the rear .

plan is test fit a 235 on a 6.5" rim and see if i like the look . if not swap to a 7" rim . the rear will be my 8" rims . i want to get this sucker rolling again and finished . so use what i got and get it done . if i find a deal on some 10" wide later then maybe we can get them and change it up a little .

[sweetk30]

well 2 of the 4 cooper cobra radials g/t showed up today so i went over to a friends shop and test mounted the 235/70/15 on my G-10 van 15x6.5 rally rim . not to bad at all for looks of the sidewall . so i took it back off the rim and set it in the pile for the blast box to strip them down BARE .

going to do them up in solid white to go with the dark blue / white combo the truck will be . but for now here is a few pics to let you enjoy .

2 test fit shots
rim before blast and after blast .

[sweetk30]

got a little bit further today with 1 front and 1 rear . finished blasting and got 3 coats of bright white on them. then the center cap's got tested out to see what i want . i was leaning to the black caps but now i see the chrome i am leaning that direction . using 88-98 center caps and conversion nuts to put them together .

[sweetk30]

looking real good these days .

[Palf70Step]

Very Nice!

Getting my wheels from them was an absolute nightmare. Mine are 16x10 but they were on national back order. I thought ordering directly from wheel vintiques would speed the process up. I was wrong took almost 9 weeks from ordering them to receiving them. I am happy with the product though.

[sweetk30]

thanks for the info guys .

got my lug nut caps and conversion nuts the other day . here is what i have so far .

[SSSilverado]

Nice.

I am also looking for a 15x8 rally for a spare. I tried getting a steel rim, but my drums in rear wouldn't let the wheel all the way on. I thought Summit used to carry Truck Rally wheels, I thought they had 8" and 10" widths, I'll keep searching. I had all my 4 wheels power coated. I sanded & touch sprayed them for years, finally got them powder coated.
