Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

I don't think the change is noticable to matter...if this saves a ton on production cost, I would say it's well worth it.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

The center caps look good on five and six lug. One thing worries me, though. I think alot of guys that like rallies also like a smaller wheel and more tire. That may hurt demand a little. But good luck with it, its a great idea and I hope you are able to get these made.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

I wish you luck and if I get in the position that I can I'd be interested in a set myself but if you are really compairing this wheel to the TT2 then you need to rethink it. TT2 goes on all makes and models. You are limited only to people building 5 on 5 chevy 1/2 ton trucks. You are then limited to people who want 20" wheels then you are limited to people who like Rally wheels enough to buy 20" version of them. I truely wish you luck and hope this works out for you but I just want make sure you have fully thought out your business model.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

With the center cap you can have the wheels redrilled to fit alot more vehicles or run adapters.. I can't wait till these are available for sale

I think the caps are also 5x5 for the 5 luggers...

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels

Your right, it is a tricky market. I'm not sure what 1972SuperCheyenne's business plan is, but I hope it goes through, because I'm sure interested in a set. I'm proud to be apart of the design!!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

I am not comparing them to a TT2, just saying that it doesnt matter how many people have a certain wheel. Like the 15 inch version, people like the wheel because of the timeless design. We are just putting a modern spin on them. These will fit 5x5 trucks and 6x5.5 trucks. And thankfully there are millions of them out there still being restored or driven daily. Hopefully the market will be big enough. If not, my financial situation after spending the cash to ge tthis going might not be too good! :lol:

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Kyle, the center cap is perfect like that. Love it!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

You are doing an incredible job on the design work. The proportions are perfect.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Thanks! I'm working hard to get the proportions right - even cut a wheel in half... It was the easiest way to get the profile. Poor wheel. A sacrifice never forgotten:waah:

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Poor thing, I have one like that at the shop too!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Sacrificed for the greater good. I'd love to have a set of the 20" rally's.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Glad I found this thread, definitely interested in the 6 lug bolt pattern.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Went as far as cutting a wheel in half to make sure its perfect!! This cannot fall through, no turning back now, this HAS to be done!!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

I would want some!

Updates?

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

I just read through all six pages and I gotta say, I'd love to see them get produced. I've thought for a long time that someone should make larger size rally wheels. It's good to see other like minded individuals making it happen.
I am on board to see where this leads!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Still having issues finding a manufacturer to commit the last I heard... I hope these get produced!!!

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Definately having a hard time having these made in steel. (In the US)However, I have a MFG (U.S)who says they could potentially make them in aluminum. They would have the trim ring and center cap replicated on the wheel and be all one piece. I am going to ship them a Rally with the cap and ring and they are going to scan it and see about the production in aluminum. I am wondering if they look really close, would the market be the same, better, or worse. I like the idea of a 20" Rally thats all one piece and super light compared to the steel version.
They may also be able to build it so factory caps can be installed and diamond cut the lip to give it a luster to duplicate the stainless trim rings.
Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for bearing with me fellas, this really takes alot to get rolling.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Aluminum would be great for weight and being able to polish them but think it would look better if the trim rings and centers were separate pieces so I would be easier to paint the wheels and look more original.

I would need to see a concept picture or a prototype before I could make a decision.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

This is a heavy wall deep draw for the center. Have you checked with fabricators in the Detroit area? Not many stamping houses have enough tonnage for this app.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

would love to see a set of steel wheels like that, and would be interested in buying.

Re: 20" Truck Rally Wheels
 

Aluminum will be better overall- 20" steel wheels are HEAVY and WILL make your truck accelerate and brake noticeably slower and be less maneuverable.

I assume the wheels will be cast aluminum to maintain your price point, which means the lip will never polish out like billet, leaving a 'dull' or 'hazy' finish (reference polished Coy's). Diamond cut machining the lip will give the high-luster look you want and be affordable. Removeable 20" trim rings will NOT be affordable. I also like the idea of re-using the stock style center caps to keep the design simple and, yep, cheaper.

I believe this to be your most affordable option, as it will simply be a cast wheel, painted, with a machined lip. Many companies are building wheels like this (Coy's, Showwheels, Boss, etc) at an acceptable price point. I think if you can bring 'em in under a grand, you won't be able to keep up with demand...

This is VERY do-able if you keep it simple. Don't give up! :chevy:
