I've been following this thread for a while,I want rally wheels for my 69 just having trouble finding them (actually having trouble paying for them). I have found some used 8 in but they are in rough shape.By the time I blast them and powder coat them I would still have used wheels and no caps or trim .I have seen them at Wheels vintiques ,but they are priced out at almost $600.00 with caps and trim.Has anybody tried the wheels at Speedway.They are almost half the cost.
Just looking for some feed back maybe a friendly push in the right direction

I have the Speedway wheels on my '69 and they are a quality product. They were true with no runout and balanced with no problem whatsoever. The painted finish is nice and the welds are what you would expect from modern computerized robot technology. In other words, perfect. I got 7 inch for the front and 8 inch for the back. You will like them. I had police caps left over from back in the 60s but I haven't bought trim rings yet.

You just need to keep your eyes peeled. Check Craigslist etc. Last set of 15x8's I had I just gave them away. 15x7's are a little harder to come up with. I think there is a set for sale right now on the board and pretty reasonably priced. But the 15x8's are out there a lot and usually a decent price.

Now try to find some 15x8 6 lugs four nub steel wheels, those will set you back =)

I can't say for sure. They were in Speedway boxes and had China stickers on them. I would suspect that most tire store chains, auto parts stores and mail order companies that sell these get them from the same overseas manufacturer unless you are buying from one of the big brand name manufacturers directly (and I understand that even some of them are outsourcing much of their production these days). These were well packaged and even had a fabric cover over the face so they wouldn't get scratched. Like most of us, I would rather buy USA made but I'm not rich so I have to buy the best I can according to my build budget. For the price and the quality I can peel off the China stickers.

You have to notch the lip of the LCA.

[DZL1]

I couldn’t find pics, but basically where your wheel is rubbing your lca when you turn, it will leave a mark. That’s where you know you have to notch the curled lip of the lca. It shouldn’t be a lot at all that you would have to notch.

Hope this helps.

[Shotgunn]

so notch it like a side ways triangle?
When i was imagining the wheel turning more and more cutting into the arm that it would be one hell of a notch. I felt that grinding it that much compromise the structures integrity.
I would like to see a picture for reference of how much you had to take out.
I'm not going to tell you that it bad or anything, just curious that maybe its not that much material that i have to remove.
If you cant post a picture that ok maybe a general guess 1/2 inch cut?
I appreciate and look forward to your comment.

EDIT i just re read your comment if its just curled lip...I can do that
Thank you

Grind the LCA or use a 1/4” spacer.

[DZL1]

First off, I might have missed it but how wide are your front rally wheels? 8” or 6.5”? Wider? I know if it’s 8” the grinding is minimal. And trust me, the amount of grinding you have to do won’t compromise the structural integrity of the lca.

BTW, I have a bagged c3500 diesel dually. You should google image the size of notch needed for bag clearance to the frame!
