Need Ideas

On a budget (aren't we all? lol) looking to put some nice Rallys on without breaking the bank but want it to look nice, what do you recommend along with which tire? Links appreciated. I checked Wheel Vintiques but I guess their site is under construction. I like the rally/raised white letter look but open to suggestions for a white WB4 RMW. Thanks!

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/2902703375.html - multi-pattern Chevy Car Rallys. Love these.

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/2856563667.html - Truck Rallys, these fit and look good.

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/2870729447.html - more truck rallys

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/2867154043.html - Cheaper truck Rallys...you can get these for $20 per rim at Pick-N-Pull salvage if you have any of those near you.

http://columbia.craigslist.org/pts/2837488752.html - Impala SS wheels. Wants WAY too much but might deal. If the tires really are new that's $400 right there....

They look like the ones I have pictured on my ride below. Also I put 235 70on it to fill up the wheel wells.

That looks FANTASTIC! Did you paint the letters on the tires?

I had these same wheels on Brownie, my '78 Silverado Big 10. Same trim rings too. Loved the look, still do. Ran RWL Radial T/A's on that truck. Wish I still had some pics of it!

Called about the SS wheels but he said they were sold already, thanks for the other ideas.

Only $68 bucks from summit a piece in 15x8 with 4" BS.

Then you can use any Derby or Dogdish cap and/or trim ring you like.

Chevy rally's don't belong on a Buick. Go with the Buick road wheels.

81x11 Yes I did paint the lettering. I bought rubber paint out of iceland.

I've heard of that rubber paint stuff. How long ago did you put it on and how is it holding up?


I tried one of those "white letter" pens from DupliColor, and it was garbage.

I painted the letters on my sisters suv about 4 years ago and it still looks great. No peeling whatsoever. I apllied 3 coats according to there directions. great stuff.

Jarrod,how much was this "Icelandic" tire paint and do you know its name?
Thanks

It cost me $29 a pint. and it goes along way. So I bought 4 of them at the time. I'll have to look for info and post later today.

the Road Wheels are heavy chromes steel. Get some green-can polishing compund, the white paste, and have at em! You can also use chrome polish, but I have good luck with good old polishing compound.

You may also want to tape off and paint the black trim, depending how it looks in person.

I hope you get those. I love them and they look great on these cars!

Here is my new setup. Buick Road Wheels w/cooper cobra GT 235/70/15

Wow, nice choice. Jealous again....

Mike

Wow!!! Those are perfect wheels..sits just right too!!

Yes, they look great on there and I didn't even get around to clean them up yet. I like'em.

I like them too,they look great with that tint and no wood!Those are 6 inch wide rims,right?

Man, that looks fantastic. Congrats!!

Yes, Flash 6"ers

looks awsome on your wagon

Mike (200OZ) was right about not putting rallys on a buick!

DIGGIT!!!!! Those look awesome on there!

Now lower it!

Dammmmmmmm that looks good. Glad you found something that sets that baby off. Drive it to WFNY this year.

That looks WONDERFUL! I have a spare set of these wheels on a rack in my carport, with the idea that they'd be spares for the '79 Buick...but they sure look good on the Roadmasters! Very Sharp!

Well, after riding on the wheels for a couple days, I discovered that 3 are slightly warped causing my vibration at the wheel, you try to save money by going cheap and it just ends up costing you more. Back to the "cheap" wheel search.

You are welcome to those Eagles I bought in Atlanta if you want...$200 is what I gave for them. Pick em up and just pay that. Move your new tires over to those!

Chris

Chris double check the back spacing on them before he does the same thing again. They have to have 4" or better 3.75 will not work. Here I go, I am assuming you have 8" rims do you or are they only 7"

They are 8in, but same bs as my other set. 245/60/15 all around and had to take off a touch on the rear wheelwell lip of the OCC. Ill measure bs again, but I know they will work. I just dont need them anymore
Yeah, confirmed they are 4in bs

Well that's good to hear, he should jump on that offer. The alloy's I picked up only have a 3.75 bs and that sucks.
