square slot rallys...
« on: May 04, 2009, 10:38:09 pm »
I have a set of 15x8 5lug square slot rally rims on the 78 right now. I know that GM made the 15x10.... in a 6lug, did they ever make one in 5? If they didn't, does anyone know who has them aftermarket? I only want two 5lug 15x10 with caps and rings.

Rally wheels were never offered in 15x10 from GM.

They were offered in 15x10 but only in 6 lug. I did some searching and found a local dealer who can get them from an aftermarket company. They're a bit pricey, but they are an exact match... with exception to the cap logo.

I hit the link to pricing and all I get is for the 20 series. I need the "c" series and by the way that site looks, the local guy I found is seriously cheaper. $25+ a rim cheaper.

GM never offered Rallys in any lug pattern that were 10" wide from the factory.

What are these?



And why are they on a bone stock 1 owner truck in E-town, KY? How could they have been bought for $600 back in 1980 directly from most any GM parts dept.? Not tryin to be a smartass or anything, but for a wheel that was never made, it sure did end up on quite a few trucks.

I'll be investigating next time I'm down that way. We'll find out for sure and I'll make sure I get pics.

I've never seen a factory 10" wide rally either and I worked at a GM dealership too. They may have been available through the parts department but never saw them on any truck stock.

I have ONLY ever had 73-87 pickups from 1988 to now that were mine.  I have been documenting them for 21 years.  GM never offered a 10" Rally wheel or I would have ran across one by now.  The parts department sold parts that were not GM parts or parts availible from GM (dealer bumpers, dealer A/C, dealer striping, dealer wheels/tires, dealer beadliners, dealer sliding windows)  All of these were availible from the dealer and they weren't necessarily GM parts.

In 21 years you would think I would have found a set by now that was stock from the GM, and I have looked and documented A LOT of trucks.

Since you listed it, I noticed on the back of two of my rallys it's stamped 15x6.5. Is that what came on the vans or am I mistaken? I'll have to look again tomorrow and double check.
