I would like some more beauty rings pls
I really appreciate the info you share in this video. I’m restoring a set of 15x8 XAJ’s. One was bent so I went on a hunt to fine one.
Had a guy try to sell me two different 6.5” DAS wheels. And he wanted to argue that they were 8”. 🤦♂️
I finally found the correct wheel in his pile.
Thanks again, without this video I probably would have bought a wrong wheel.
Awesome! Buying the wrong wheels stink! It’s fun to show folks how to read these wheels and fun to educate others. When you get them cleaned up, post them on my FB page so we can see them. You painting them or powder coat?
@@ItsTheChad71
I bought a cheap sand blast gun, blasted them with play sand. Then primed and painted them with white lacquer.
I have a 70 GMC
dude !
All your vids are very helpful
Rally’s look so much better than any after market wheel
I picked up a set for 150 can you believe it ? 150 ! Rings & caps included
Dude didn’t know what he had
They were sitting in a backyard for many years
Restored them with your help
A lot of people think they are new
I tell them I did it the Chad way
Thanks for all your helpful info ✌️
Outstanding! You got a steal on them! GM got it right with the rallies. They are timeless and look great on 3 eras. I appreciate the support and I will keep The Chad budget restores coming!
Also, cute sunnies 😎
Couldn’t find mine, so I grabbed the kids!
Well look who I found. This is so cool, you’ve got some great videos. I’ve got about 20 of mine and I need to get put on, too stupid and too lazy. Later. X-222
Thanks buddy! But I don’t remember you being either of those two! Holler at you soon.
Love rally on old trucks they look great ! Have the corvette rallies & spinners on the 68 Chevy p.u. now ! 👍🏻😁
Another great choice! My cousin just put a set of the new 18” replicas on his el Camino. Looks great. GM got it right with rallies for sure!
Great info thanks
I appreciate it!
Great video thanks!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great info there!!! Thx!
I cut my teeth on Dad’s ‘84 C10, n school, back n ‘85-‘89. I stuck a set of 3-pt spinners on the factory 5-lug center caps. Looked great!!
Peel the sticker off, & use a set screw & jam nut. On that particular set of spinners I had, the I.D. of the spinners was a good snug fit over the center caps. Then still used the spinner locking set screw to keep them from unscrewing! Also, watch the alignment of the spinner points, as they don’t interfere w/the center cap screws. It’ll prevent a COMPLETE disassembly!
That’s cool! It’s fun to hear how guys come up with their own methods to trick out their trucks!
I'm just beginning the search for rallies to replace the white spokes on my '67 and the info in this video is exactly what I was looking for - thank you Chad!
You bet! Glad it could help!
I myself have had several sets of 15x8 k5 and k15 and k10 blazer and suburban rally wheels and the current set of gm factory wheels i still have for a truck are kinda mire uncommon the 75-84 gm steel spoke style sport truck k5 blazer and suburban wheels... Also came out on Chevy sport 76-80 Chevy stepside trucks... I don't have the caps, and they have been repainted with Rust-Oleum white but I got ahold of a early 94 Chevy two tone onyx gloss black with the quicksilver center going down the sides and the tailgate,Z71 Silverado extended cab short bed and they are the wheels that was on the truck when I traded for it and the kid said the farmer he got it off of put them on there and the kid i got it from was saying that he thinks they are just some knock off white spoke wheels minus the res and blue lip pinstripes except for the weird looking threaded holes in between the lugs, and I said that is why I know what they are those holes are for the bolts that mount the gm rally center caps to the wheels....
GM got it right with the truck rallies and several others!
I have drilled the three holes and flush screws and used rally centers and the looked great,even the spinner ones just because I had extra laying around.
Good deal! GM did a great job with these wheels, rings and center caps. Such a timeless look!
I like both. But right now I have steelies on my 69. I have 8s on the rear and 6s up front. Painted white with 67Chevelle, Nova, Camaro caps
I bet that looks good!
I’m searching for a 6 lug 15X8 to get my truck on the road. I found something that may work on eBay, but I didn’t know backspacing, thanks for sharing the 4” backspacing
Glad to help! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Great info! One addition Is the chevy k10 4x4 suburban thru 1986 with 10 bolt rearend had 15x8 5 lugs so there is a 5 lug 4x4 center cap.
I appreciate you sharing this! I don’t know I have ever seen one before. Now I can keep my eye out for them! Thanks for watching!
My bad.....I am wrong. They are 6 lug not 5.
I got mine from a Chevy van rv and put new tires on it they look good to me and they bolted up no problem it helps I work at a salvage yard
Good deal! I would be in trouble if I had easy access to a yard!
Just seen this video, and thanks for the info on the 6 lug later model center caps that are shorter. I think they make the 8" rallies look more deep dish with the 3" deep trim rings. Just an idea for guys that like these rallies I ran a 275/ 60 series 15" tire on my old 68 c10. They fill in the fender wells really good and they"re wide. Gives it that muscle truck look! She's under restoration and cant wait to put a set back on it .. Great video buddy!!
You bet! I think the thinner caps look pretty slick. I like the look of 275s as well. I have never ran them up front. Usually 235s and 275s or 255s all the way around. I bet it looks good on a 68 since it has a narrower rear end.
@@ItsTheChad71 yes sir! I ran the 275/ 60 's up front as well. They fit really nice on the 67-72's . I put a set on a 66 c10 and they were a little snug on the back fender well, but worked and looked cool too. Have a blessed day!!
Chevy suburban used 15/8 wheels up threw 91 with 235 /15 tires ....the tires were tough to mount because the wheel was so wide and used the older 5 lug center caps . Alot of the square body 4x4 trucks threw 87 we're also 8 inch because they put 31/10.50 /15 tires on at the factory . Good video for people that is not familiar with rally wheels....that make an old truck look good. One day I will have another 67 c10 ...it was my first and best truck....most reliable after I motered it and rebuilt the front end and tranny.
Thanks for reaching out! I forgot suburban stayed with the square body longer than the trucks. I hope you do get you another 67. Great year. If you haven’t, check out my video on all the year specifics of a 1967. Pretty interesting.
Love Chevy Rally wheels.
They are classic! They look good on almost every body style.
Lots of good info. I've got a set of 15x8, 5 on 5 (stamped XAJ) rallies but the hub hole isn't round. More octagonal and seem to come over the axle a bit. Any insight as to what the deal is with that?
Thank you for watching! All of mine are round. I wonder if some of the 5 lugs were made lug-centric vs hub-centric for different models of trucks or years. Great question!
You should do a video about the more heavy duty wheels like that are on the Chevy k10 and k20 with the 8 lug pattern
Will do! I have been trying to stock up on some of the different wheels from these trucks. Some are really hard to find!
I have a set of the wide ones five lug that were on my 73C 10 long bed. Is it better to have all the tires match or to stagger them with wider in the back?
It would mainly be a personal preference. If you go the same size all around, you will be able to rotate them easier. I like the looks of wider tires in the rear and it gives you a little bit bigger contact patch for the light rear end.
One thing you didn't mention was what kind of lug nuts came on the 6 lug 15x8 and the 5 lug 15x8
Good catch!
i have an 89 GMC Jimmy Sierra Classic. It came with 15x8 6 lug rallys, with only three center cap holes drilled out.
It seems like wheels could be a little different depending on where they were manufactured. I have seen a few variations over the 73-90 trucks and suburbans. Interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Thank you for the videos. Would it matter if you put a 15×7 on a 96 chevy truck
They will mount up since they are the same bolt pattern. I have seen several 88-98 trucks with 15x8s, but I’m not sure if I ever paid attention to any 15x7s.
Chad, that smooth center cap that bolts from the inside were available from 1973-1977. Gm changed the design in 1978. I’d like to purchase at one you have to complete my set please.
Thanks for the info! I hadn’t gotten def answer on them yet. I don’t have that one anymore. I borrowed it from another truck buddy for the video.
What info would you happen to have on a center cap on a 15x7 that is circular in the neck and mounts from the back instead of having 3 bolt holes on the front Chad? thanks.......
Check out my video called Rally Wheels Center Cap differences. I believe I have the one you are referring to. If so I know they were on some Chevy vans and trucks. I did find a set of GMC’s the other day too. There have been some comments from viewers that they came on some 7” truck wheels too. They are unique, so I like them!
Thank 6👍👍👍👍
You bet! Thanks for watching!
My husband is restoring a 67 C10 and did a disc brake conversion on the front. He is trying to figure out what rims and tires to go with to account for the disc brakes to make sure he has enough clearance on the front. His are the 6 lugs. Any suggestions?
We were able to use the 6 lug 15x8 truck rallies on our 68 with disc conversion without any issue. If it’s close, you can go with 15x7s up front.
Nice one!
Thank you!
Ford made then as well. BTW, 15/7 came out on vans. Wheel well space was an issue.
Did they look pretty similar?
I have a set of 6 lugs on my 70!!
They look like they were made for 67-72s. Best steel wheel GM ever produced!
This might be a dumb question but do they make different size beauty rings for those rally rims? For example thin vs wide beauty rings
Good question! Yes they do. A deep and narrow version. The deep are 3” and look better on the deeper 6 lug and I think they are 2 3/8” for the 5 lug. You can buy aftermarket ones on eBay for about $40-50 that are 1.5” as well.
Yeah, Thx! I was pretty sure the 6-lug were thicker than the 5-lug, on the ‘80s square body C10’s. Bn alotta yrs? Lol!!
Realized I had the van rallys when I purchased 15x3 Beauty rings lol
Bummer! Now the decision. Do you keep the wheels and get new rings or go for smaller rings? I will stay tuned!
@@ItsTheChad71 found a set for 300 local. I think I'm gonna go for it.
The 6-lug ones are those the ones they would put baby moon hubcaps on? I got a 64 c10 and those are the ones I want
The 73-87 6 lug Truck Rallies would be the cone type center caps unless you bought some adapter clips. If you had the original steelies 6 lugs, you could put the dog dish or moon caps on. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if not.
Another clue is they don't have the same shape holes as the white spoke American racing brand wheels and u s. Wheel knockoffs do,it similar to the Astros and safari gm mini van grey gm spoke wheels...
Good tips. Astros and Safaris were so cool. Really tall and the single sliding door.
Got my hands on some rally wheels 15X8s but now I’m having trouble finding the smooth beauty rings. All I can find is beauty rings with the crease on it I think they call them “stepped edge” anyways do you know where I can find smooth beauty rings like the original ones?
I believe both the 2 3/8 and 3” rings both have a flat 3/8” lip and then round over smooth. You can buy a set 2” aftermarket ones off eBay that are all smooth for about $50.
I have 15x10 6lug Chevy blazer wheels from 87 on my 97 6lug 4x4
GM got it right with these wheels!
Hi chad. I'm looking for grill the insert that holds the blinkers. The one I have is bent up and I can't get the angles corrct. I could use some help please. Thanks.
I asked around my peps and no one has a good used one. You might ask around your local C10 clubs and see if someone has a donor you could rob.
@@ItsTheChad71 thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Can you shed a little light on my Ralley wheels? I have a set of 9 inch Chevy five lug wheels for my 1971 Cheyenne, I just watched your video and didn’t hear anything about a wider rim, was this a special option?
I haven’t seen an original 9” before. An 8” wheel measures 9-10” wide. GM measured from bead to bead instead of edge to edge. Can you read what wheel code it is? 8” would be XAJ, CK, BM, BK
I’ll check it out, thanks for the reply Chad, much appreciated 👍👍
The 6 lug 7"" rally wheels came on G20 Van
I appreciate the info!
Damn bought some very clean wheels advertised as 15x7 but got home and shocked to see they’re actually 15x6.5 for $500. Now I feel kinda robbed but they’re clean and have nice rings and clean center cap. are they still good on a 88 Silverado. Should I keep them or get my money back? G
I understand how you feel! They all look so similar, but they are different. Here’s my 2 cents. If they are in good shape and you are happy with the way they look on your 88. I say keep em. If it’s not exactly what you want or as advertised, see if you can swap them back.
I bought a set of 15x8 5x5 and one pair has raised lug holes while the other does not. Does this mean they are not a matching set or may not fit my 73 C10? Seen this before?
Both are stamped “XAJ”
Sorry for the delay. I don't know I have run across a raised set in 5 lug, but they should be fine either way. Just make sure you have deep enough lug nuts.
What size is the bolt that attaches the center cap to the rally wheel?
Should be 5/16 course thread by 3/4 long but can use 1”. Ace, tractor supply or other hardware store are where I get them. Originals had a little slit on the tip. They were thread cutter bolts.
I have a 1983 C/10 Shortbed that has 15x8 rallies but for some reason was these really small beauty rings and weird hubcaps.
Those wheels would accept a lot of beauty rings off other cars and trucks. Some looked good and other not so much. The original caps and rings were a home run by GM.
I've found that these rally come in multiple sizes, and its frustrating when you think your getting the wide ones, only to get the small ones
I agree! I have bought a few wrong ones by mistake. I hope this video helps. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I have a 82 gmc, my question is can 195/50 15r tire go well with 15"x8 rally?
195/50s would be pretty narrow and short on an 8”. I can’t say for sure since I’ve never used them. Smallest I’ve run is 235/60s in the front. I prefer 255 or 275 on the rears to fill in the wheel tubs.
Hey boss watt size you recommend me for 1986 blazer k5?
I’m traditional and like the original 6 lug truck rallies. They have a little more depth than the 5 lug as well.
I have a 2001 Chevy S10 pick up 4 wheel drive will these wheels fit that truck please comment back thank you very much
I believe all S10 2wd and 4wd were 5x4.75 bolt pattern. I have seen these wheels on S10s though. I assume they are using a wheel adapter. The Rallies are 5x5 and 6x5.5.
How rare are the 15x7? I looked for awhile and finally found some for my 1972 1/2 ton 2wd custom. I went to a cruise night and a person came up and told me they were really rare. 15x8 and the 15x6.5 van rims are most common. The 15x7 never came on the 67-72 trucks? Have you ever heard of anyone widening the 15x8 6 lug rim to 15x10? Thanks keep videos coming.
Thank you! The 15x7s are the hardest to find. A lot of guys like running the staggered set for looks. Others like them up front on disc brake conversions to eliminate wheel rub on the lower control arm. None of the GM truck rallies came on a 67-72, even though they are on a ton now. They were 73-87 squares. GM did right with these wheels. They look good on several eras of trucks. As for widening a 15x8 to a 10", yes. The video I made of my buddies black 72 named Miss Represented had a widened set of 71-72 rims on his. The pulled the hoop, widened it and welded it back on. Now days, a lot of guys will buy the 15x10 aftermarket ones to save time and money.
I have a set of 5 lugs, but the center caps have no holes for the normal 3 screw mounts! this makes me theorize they must be held in place with screws from the back! thus the wheels must be taken off, first to remove the center caps. IDK, not going to take the tire/wheel off just to research this, but it's definitely odd, IMO.
You are correct. They mount from the rear. Those center caps were only made a few years and have more of a cone shape. I have one in another video about the truck Rally Wheel center caps. You might check it out and see if it's the one you have. Thanks for watching!

What size tires u suggest for 15x8 truck is lowered
How low are you going? If I’m only going down a couple inches I stay with 70 series. It a 2/4, 4/6 or 5/7 I go with 60 series. I like 235s up front and 275s in the rear. If all stock, I like 255/70s all around.
@@ItsTheChad71 sounds like a winner chicken dinner 🍽
@@9thgatedim273 let me know what you go with and shoot me some pics on FaceSpace if you got it. I always like seeing how different sizes look with different drops. Facebook.com/itsthechad71
What width beauty rim did the k10 early squarebody come with?
3” is what I was always told, but I prefer the looks of the 2 3/8”. I like the wheels and don’t want hem covered as much as the 3”.
@@ItsTheChad71 thank you Chad..
@@leogetsome You bet!
I just bought a full set of 15x7s
Good score! They are getting hard to find.
Do all truck rallys have the same lip depth?
The 1st lip or drop is the same on them, but the depth changes to the face of the wheel on 6, 6.5, 7, 8 and even 6 lug.
@@ItsTheChad71 Thank you
I have an odd one that you don’t mention. 6lug 15x8 but only 3 of the nubs are drilled, not all of them like you stated. I can send you the video of them if you like. They have the letters “DAB” on them
Great catch and you are correct!! I just started restoring a set of 6 lugs for a buddy. Bought 3 DAB and 1 ZC. 2 of the DABs have 3 holes drilled for the caps, 1 has 6 and the ZC has 6. Go figure! GM is wonderful with all their differences!
@@ItsTheChad71 Any idea what the DAB ones were off of? I bought the 4 I have off marketplace for $40 to try on my 69’ C10
I am not sure, but that’s what these are going on too! 69 GMC that is.
What part number for valve stems?
I’m not sure. I just use whatever rubber stem the local tire shop installs.
Long enough to stick through the beauty rings u have!!! Sux removing the rings to add or check air. I’ve used stem extensions n the past. Naturally, these have their issues as well?
Are they tubeless?
Yep
Is it true that they made 16 inch rally too?...
I have never seen a 16 inch truck Rally. GM made some 16 inch wheels for OBS 88-98s but they weren’t Rallies. I’m sure there is an aftermarket company out there that might have.
@@ItsTheChad71 ok this guy is selling a set and he said that they are 16... and someone told me that blazer and Jimmy 4x4 came with 16... im going to check if they 16... thank you...
Didn’t those wheels were introduced in early 80s ?
1973-1991 is when they were produced. Squarebody era.
Just got mine from eBay for my 70 c10. Not to sure what tires to getting what would you recommend. I’m on stock suspension but I’m going to lower it to maybe 4/6 or 3/5 .
Good deal! I like 235/60/15s up front and 275/60/15 on the rear. 245s up front might be better but harder to find. I have also run 235s and 255s out back. All on 3/5 drops.

Was curious to if you had any info on 67-72 wheels check out my channel if you’d like I have a short video of my 67 gmc 4x4 (specs in the description) I would like to have a factory set of steel wheels for it as I’m going to restore it back as factory or period correct as possible collecting parts now thank you happy new year
15 by 6.5....1970 MONTE CARLO???????
I think the bolt pattern on a Monte is 5x4.75. The 5 lug truck rallies were 5x5. You could use the original car and el Camino rallies though.
