Joey B Jun 27th, 02, 10:53 PM Thats a no-brainer... corvette rallys were 15x8 from 68-77, and you can pick up a pair at just about any swap meet for about 25 bucks each, or buy new ones for around 100. Not to mention they are the best looking wheel chevy ever made, and as strong as any high dollar wheel you can buy. FO_FDYFO Jun 28th, 02, 9:33 AM you can order any size and back spacing rally form wheelvintiques.com for around $80 ea. since i converted to the 5 on 5" lug pattern i am going to order that lug pattern and 16" wheels with the correct back spacing once i determine what back spacing i need to perfectly center the rim in the wheel well space. i love the fact that i can have that much control on the specifications of these wheels. and they are new! ------------------ I couldn't repair my brakes, so I made my horn louder. 4-SALE? I'm considering selling my yellow '70 chevelle if someone is interested $11k. www.EINSTYN.com (http://www.EINSTYN.com) updated 6-7-02 TC#1460, VCEA#2 . . _________ . . . . . .. _________ .../___---___\ . . ____/|__|__\___\ (OO[=====]OO) {_______________| .{}.............{}.....O...............O.... 1970 Chevelle 454 Wagons [This message has been edited by FO_FDYFO (edited 06-28-2002).] 1966_L78 Jun 28th, 02, 11:37 AM I'll second that on the Wheel Vintiques... I had my rear 15X8s made up to center my tires... Fit 295/50-15s with no rubbing... JWA Jun 28th, 02, 7:01 PM Try a local tire place that sells the Modern Brand wheel. The usually sell the 15x8 Chrome rally for like 60-80 bucks and then you don't have to worry about shipping or long distance warranty issues. Plus with the Chrome ralley you don't need to buy trim rings, they are already shiny. Good Luck. BTW I had my set on my Chevelle and Camaro with a set of Knock-off style center caps and they looked great. ------------------ Jeff Angerstein ACES#841 TCG#158 CECCO #16 68 SS396(roller 454) 68 Pro Street 69 SSRS 396(427) 4spd 87 MC SS 99 K2500 Burb 7.4L(454) My Chevs (http://www.tcg158.homestead.com) OLD BLUE (12.31@110) (http://tcg158.homestead.com/files/drvr.jpg) (10 second motor in a 14 second chassis) [This message has been edited by ACE841 (edited 06-28-2002).] MAXX2 Jun 28th, 02, 7:31 PM One important thing you didn't mention.

JWA Jul 3rd, 02, 9:13 PM Congrats dude! looks like you got a great deal http://www.chevelles.com/forum/cool.gif One place to keep an eye on is where the center is welded to rim section. Mine would try and rust in that area if I didn't keep them clean. ------------------ Jeff Angerstein ACES#841 TCG#158 CECCO #16 68 SS396(roller 454) 68 Pro Street 69 SSRS 396(427) 4spd 87 MC SS 99 K2500 Burb 7.4L(454) My Chevs (http://www.tcg158.homestead.com) OLD BLUE (12.31@110) (http://tcg158.homestead.com/files/drvr.jpg) (10 second motor in a 14 second chassis) | ||
