Magnums or Rallyes?
« on: January 09, 2006 - 05:22:01 PM »
Going to be buying some wheels.  What do you guys think would look best, 15 X 8 Rallyes or 16 or 17 X 8 Magnums?

Tuff choice, I like em both!  Maybe you could photoshop both sets onto an image of your car and see what each one looks like?  Let us know which ones you chose.   :cooldancing:  ...................Oldschool

Thanks for the reply.  Will try to do that.  I haven't seen any of the 16" or 17" Magnums.  Would like to know if the extra size is accomplished by more wheel lip or longer spokes. :dunno:

If you are talking Mopar wheels... do you know if you can get trim rings to fit the size you want? For example... I have only seem 15X7 trim rings available for the Rally wheels. I think these trim rings might be the same for the Magnums???  :dunno:

I think the Magnum is a one piece wheel from Stockton wheel.

I like Rallye wheels but the magnums look great to. It's a tough choice I would photoshop both sets to and see which ones look best.

I lean towards the ralleys no doubt.    The magnums look too much like a SS wheel on a Chevelle.

Thanks for the input guys. :ylsuper:  I'm leaning towards the Rallyes although I'm somewhat confused.  I've seen 7, 7.5, 8, and 8.5 widths advertised.  Also 4 and 4.5 backspacing.  Are all of those widths available and is 4 or 4.5 backspacing better?

The billet rallyes sound interesting.  Chryco, where can I find these?

Thanks again for the input. :cheers:

Thanks 4C!  They sure do have lots of sizes..

The Billet Rallyes look kinda cheesy, but the Axioms look pretty nice.
