20" Truck Rally Wheels

The rectangular holes are different sizes; smaller and more of them in 5-bolt rallies and larger and less of them in 6-bolt wheels. IMO when the wheel size increases the hole size and number should be adjusted as well, no one has brought this up yet.

OK, I think this is what we are going to go after. 20x8 with 5.25 backspace and 20x10 with 5.50 backspace, Painted Argent silver like the stock ones, 20" trim rings to top them off and Re-use your factory or aftermarket centers. Sound like it should meet most peoples needs and/or desire?

[CHYNSPR]

Definitely would buy a set, with rings and caps...am considering the Wheel Vintiques 20" rally but would much prefer the truck rally...as long as there is adequate backspacing... I think whiteheadcycle nailed the numbers!

That pic pf the Blazer looks awesome, by the way!

Sounds like a plan to stick too.

These are wheel vintiques 20" billet rally wheels. Im almost thinking about it but want 22's instead

Perfect!

[slimneverdies]

A few more....

[stich626]

I think no matter what you do the 20" rallies are gonna look goofie..
now if someone did these in 20 or 22 and got the beems right(thickness).
I'd be all over them..


or this

[steemin_ehman]

i'm almost at the point to build another truck just to put these wheels on....

heres a design pic of 20" chevy truck ralleys, properly proportioned:

1st pic = 20" face
2nd pic = 15" compared to 20"
3rd pic = 20x9" and 20x12" (from front)
4th pic = 20x9" and 20x12" (from rear)
5th pic = design drawing

the only downfall, getting some of these custom cut in billet aluminum will cost around $800 per rim. I hope the steelies would be cheaper! I would just use some stock center caps - they don't look out of proportion to me at all (Drawn to scale)

[tubbedII]

The pics slimneverdies posted were exactly what I was thinking, but man are those things expensive!!!

IMO, these type of rally wheels look better than the truck rallys. I fear the design of truck rallys in 20" form would look more like a spare tire than a rally.

On a side note, I don't really care for how the new Camaro looks sittin on the rallys...but I'm sure it's because of the lack of lip due to backspacing restraints. But the last pic of the droptop vette is ridiculously awesome!

I like the ring, finish, and stock cap. Only concern is the width and backspacing. Maybe too much to fit without major mods? Some trimming OK but they'd have to tuck on a lowered truck.

[STOCKISH]

That width and backspace fits great even on a lowered truck. At least that seemed to fit good on my 72 and my 86. Both were a 5/7 drop and same size and backspace wheels. Thanks for the pics steemin!

Sick. Who's making those car rallys? That house..... WOW........money.

instead of all that cash out lay, wonder if a call to centerline and get a set of these with the holes cut into them..

as they are 385-409.00 depending on size/width even if the holes added a c note it's still cheaper than one offs billets

Bingo!

[steemin_ehman]

I've looked into doing the centerlines - the easiest would be to buy the centerlines, and take them to a machine shop. They would cut them all for a couple hundred - once one is set up, the rest are just a copy. The only problem with the centerlines is that you cant get the extruded ring just inside the square cut holes.

Steel rims would be heavy, but no heavier than the steel 20in "spare" wheels on new pickups. This look would be more authentic, and cheaper in the long run IMO.

[STOCKISH]

I would guess you couldnt get out the door with the Centerlines, all machine work, etc... for less than $2000. And still wouldnt have the cap or trim ring. The Centerline idea is cool and I thought about that before too but want an authentic look. To me, nothing is going to look like a 20" Rally except a 20" Rally.

[glos55]

I would have to see them on the truck, might be bad a$$ with the right stance!!

don't know about cheaper.. you seem to forget as you compare new truck steel 20" rims to use on an older truck that the new trucks have much bigger braking system in place..
it's going to be like putting 35" mudders on it. and try'n to stop quickly.. the brakes don't like it..

That is a fair point - many of us thus far have installed big wheels with the stock braking system on our trucks, myself included. My wheels are chromed cast iron, even heavier than steelies. I've had to come to complete stops quickly without too much issues, but still your right, not as safe as a brake upgrade.

The same risk is involved with any big wheel upgrade.

[STOCKISH]

Thats why we have vendors that sell big brake upgrades!!

[wild4wheels]

didn't wheel vintiques go out of business or am I thinking someone else?

Oh, thats right, nevermind ...bought out! Coker bought them

I love rally's too, but I must agree here! Guess I'm gonna need another truck when these come out! Here's my 67 currently!

Thanks for the design pics! I think these'd be awesome!
