20" Truck Rally Wheels

[steemin_ehman]

i'm almost at the point to build another truck just to put these wheels on....

heres a design pic of 20" chevy truck ralleys, properly proportioned:

1st pic = 20" face
2nd pic = 15" compared to 20"
3rd pic = 20x9" and 20x12" (from front)
4th pic = 20x9" and 20x12" (from rear)
5th pic = design drawing

the only downfall, getting some of these custom cut in billet aluminum will cost around $800 per rim. I hope the steelies would be cheaper! I would just use some stock center caps - they don't look out of proportion to me at all (Drawn to scale)

instead of all that cash out lay, wonder if a call to centerline and get a set of these with the holes cut into them..

as they are 385-409.00 depending on size/width even if the holes added a c note it's still cheaper than one offs billets

Bingo!

I've looked into doing the centerlines - the easiest would be to buy the centerlines, and take them to a machine shop. They would cut them all for a couple hundred - once one is set up, the rest are just a copy. The only problem with the centerlines is that you cant get the extruded ring just inside the square cut holes.

Steel rims would be heavy, but no heavier than the steel 20in "spare" wheels on new pickups. This look would be more authentic, and cheaper in the long run IMO.

I would guess you couldnt get out the door with the Centerlines, all machine work, etc... for less than $2000. And still wouldnt have the cap or trim ring. The Centerline idea is cool and I thought about that before too but want an authentic look. To me, nothing is going to look like a 20" Rally except a 20" Rally.

don't know about cheaper.. you seem to forget as you compare new truck steel 20" rims to use on an older truck that the new trucks have much bigger braking system in place..
it's going to be like putting 35" mudders on it. and try'n to stop quickly.. the brakes don't like it..

That is a fair point - many of us thus far have installed big wheels with the stock braking system on our trucks, myself included. My wheels are chromed cast iron, even heavier than steelies. I've had to come to complete stops quickly without too much issues, but still your right, not as safe as a brake upgrade.

The same risk is involved with any big wheel upgrade.

Thats why we have vendors that sell big brake upgrades!!

I love rally's too, but I must agree here! Guess I'm gonna need another truck when these come out! Here's my 67 currently!

Thanks for the design pics! I think these'd be awesome!
