Rally wheels & hub caps?
I have rally wheels on my 85, and I picked up a set of hub caps off of a 76. I would like to know if there is any way for these to be on a rally wheel, just held on with tape for mock up. I think it would look pretty cool..

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
I like that idea also, but never could figure out a way to securely hold the hub caps on.

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
No easy way to do it. The caps use nubs that are part of the wheel stamping to hold them on.
The alternate way; hot rodder style, weld some nubs to your exisiting wheels if you really want to use them. [and by that I mean build up some weld in the appropriate places] Alex. Last edited by Axle; 06-01-2014 at 09:23 AM. |

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
Where can I find a set of them? And how do the clips hold to the wheel?

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
you have to drill and tap the wheel for them cause they are held on by screws

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
Why not just get some early rims?
Just got my 77's 6js banded to 10" Fronts being done this week |

Re: Rally wheels & hub caps?
I assume the backspace of the early standard rims is the same as rallys(there are enough threads on here if you search) I just had the guy add 4" extra dish

Your rally wheels are sized differently from a stock steelie, probably will only need a small bead to hold onto the cap. I'm also wondering if those vw clips will work with the stock rally given the different shape of the dish. Alex. |

My buddy welded nuts to my wheels and it works great. No problems at all.
