Anyone every buy these rally wheels?
« on: April 19, 2006 - 06:26:45 PM »
Does anybody have any experience with these people and their rally wheels?  They have 100% positive feedback on 959 hits, not bad.

Nope, but I think you can get a set of Chrysler Rallye's much cheaper at JEGS.  They are manufactured by Wheel Vintique.

I think I paid $760 to "the Wheel Man" for (2) 7" and (2) 8", caps, rings and Lugs. so $ 535 is a good price. Zerf, those Wheel Vintiques from Jegs or Summit, do not include the caps, lugs, and rings.

anyone else have trouble with trim rings fitting awkward  (even when fully seated )and offcenter so that when the wheel is rolling, it looks like its off center and the wheel looks like its bouncing all over the place but its not  ?

Robb,
  I never heard of that before. Assuming the wheel isn't bent(dinged or damaged), maybe one of the tabs on the trim ring got bent? So it fits flush on the outer part that meets the wheel?

Robb, all 4 of yours do that? Mine are all nice and smooth while rotating.  The only problem I had was that the rallyes I have are powder coated and at our car shows the judges might look at the valve stem being centered.  So,,,,, I would mount my tires, have them balanced, then drive home, look at the tires, and the rears  SPUN around a little maybe up to a 1/4 turn. This would also throw off my balance. So I break the bead, turn the tire, and look at them 2 weeks later and they had spun again. After 3 times of this, I just laid a bead of black silicone sealant around the bead, inside and outside, and haven't had a problem since. 
I also put a little paint dot on the tire, next to the valve stem so I can see if it moved.
Mounting and remounting was easy since I have one of those $35.00 bead breakers from Harbor Freight

Saw them on the back wheels when I was going through emissions and I was out of the car and it was doing the 30mph test.

at least 3 of them.   They fit flush on the outer rim, but they dont lay flat in the center,  when the wheel is moving they look all lopsided when you look at the center of the wheel.   

They dont seem to move around the valve stem, much.

'70 don't have to go through emissions tests here in MO. It started in '71. I wouldn't want one of those people running my car on those rollers.

here its anything after '66 and you get measured every year if the car is 5 years or older.

if you want to drive it on the street, its not an option.   :1zhelp:

Yeah, too many emission rules in CA. 

So, I have to ask Robb, Is that you wearing that "I Choked LL" shirt?
