Re: Where did rally wheels come from?

Other opinions...
Original 5 slot rally's were first used in 1967, and had a one year only small center cap, in 1968 they changed to the larger "Top Hat" center version.

I know they came a few different ways from the factory, 14" and 15" the rarer version of the center caps had "Disc Brakes" written around the rim of the cap.
I was under the impression that original rally's were 6" wide.
But I remember reading somewhere that they were only 5.5" wide, with later years getting wider. Correct me if I'm wrong on that point..

The set I have on my 68 SS RS are from a later corvette, and are 10" wide.
