Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71swb4x4 · 02-28-2016, 11:49 PM

My new tires get here pretty soon. I have 15x8 steelies with dog dish caps, and I have ralley wheels. I took these pictures off some other threads of board member's trucks. Which do you think I should go with? I have a 506 dark olive blazer with white top. But the white top probably won't be on it much.

I prefer steelies with caps. It not only looks mean but clean too.

1970K-5 · 02-29-2016, 07:36 AM

Steelies with caps. I have the same color on mine. Is the truck lifted and what size tires do you have on the steelies. Looks terrific!

71swb4x4 · 02-29-2016, 09:17 AM

My Blazer is not lifted. I am thinking of going with 31" tires.

Boo hiss hiss

just kidding. I like the rallys too.I just like the steelies and caps better.

cleszkie · 02-29-2016, 02:25 PM

Its such a nice Blazer that any wheel combo would look good on it. However, the white steelies with caps really stand out in my opinion.

el tesoro · 02-29-2016, 10:03 PM

I voted rally. However, I hope you go with the steel and sell me the rally for a real good price.

tjsblazer · 02-29-2016, 10:28 PM

Both look good but I personally like the white steelies and dog dishes especially on a period correct paint job.
When people start to paint newer style paint schemes then I tend to like the rallys better.

**richard2717** · 03-01-2016, 10:14 PM

Steelies without a doubt

**Sandtrap9072** · 03-02-2016, 07:49 AM

Steelies for sure, but nice to have two options!

**undertaker72** · 03-02-2016, 08:02 AM

well I'm partial to steelies and caps, but I change around from time to time , its good to have varitie

grillzy · 03-02-2016, 08:35 AM

dog dish

BBrendal · 03-02-2016, 06:13 PM

Steelies all the way aroun!

PGG · 03-02-2016, 07:36 PM

I have both but am irritated by the beauty rings on the ralleys coming off and or now rotating independent of the wheels. It was wearing on the stems.

**craneboy72** · 03-05-2016, 01:45 PM

Love the steelies I just scored a set of 8" for mine

briank · 03-05-2016, 06:24 PM

Steelies/caps

Maximus · 03-05-2016, 07:22 PM

This is like asking if you want Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream. Either way you cant go wrong, but I also favor steelies

rayray767 · 03-12-2016, 02:52 AM

I've got the Rallys on mine at the moment but do have a set of the others in the garage just I case I get bored with the look I can switch them out 😉.
Their both nice .......

Chulisohombre · 03-12-2016, 06:13 AM

Both look nice. I have white wagon wheel steelees on mine. But I run trails off-road sometimes and wouldn't want to loose the beauty rings or caps out in the mountains. For a street truck I like the rally's better though. Had them on my 94 because I liked them so much.

**DeadheadNM** · 03-12-2016, 10:29 AM

Both look good but steelies set it apart a little more.

Question - white walls in or out?

**craneboy72** · 03-12-2016, 06:31 PM

I prefer white steelies with white letters in and factory caps

71swb4x4 · 03-12-2016, 09:12 PM

Here is the end result, for now at least. I am going to repaint the ralleys now. But dang, I really love the look of these steel wheels so who knows if the ralleys will get put back on, but I will have them if I do change my mind.

jaybirdk5 · 03-12-2016, 09:19 PM

Looks awesome!!!!

**craneboy72** · 03-13-2016, 07:59 AM

Perfect looks so good
