i guess i'm kind of old school, but i love the look of a stepped rim without trims rings. the pic below shows the rims i am interested in - available from Coker. they have both the 15" rally I and rally II available in stepped lip. then, i ran across a video this morning i hadn't seen before. the car was wearing what appear to be 17" stepped rally IIs in chrome. year one, WV, ames - they all seems to offer the 17' version with the non-stepped lip and that's not what i'm looking for. does anyone know who makes the rims in the video??
considering the wheels in the video (from Classic Industries) only come in 18", it looks like i'll fall back to the original plan of 15" stepped Rally lls in 7"/8" chrome.
should look awfully good - will post pics when i can.
to me, those wheels look good on the '68 and later GTOs, but not that great on the early cars. i much prefer the 'stepped' lip look over this large, flat lip.
you are right - they have some great options. the 'trans am' looks like a nice wheel and some of their billet/forged wheels in resto mod and pro-touring are great also.
the best looking most agressice rallyII wheel/tire combo ever made were the '70-72 JW-KN-KR small centered 15x7's shod with F60x15 or G60x15 small raised white letter GoodYear PolyGlas tires. Standard equipment on a '70-72 TransAm & avail on select '71 & 72 Pontiac Abodys & Formulas, there is no mistaking the design of the "step" of the outer rim. Nothing later comes close. The big lip Year1 cast alum wheel pays homage to the JW wheel style, but looks cartoonish, in my opinion, even on a 2nd Gen T/A.
yes the only wheels avail on a '70 1/2 T/A.
a deep dish trim ring was optional equip, but the JW wheels & F60x15's look absolute Beast Mode without the expensive original style trim rings.
