I've seen a lot of the wrong grey powder coated type around. I would prefer the correct color silver wheels and light argent centers. What trim rings are used for 1970 b-body chrome or brushed? Thank you!

Unless there is more than 1 company making wheels( doubt it )

None of them are correct.

This cars owner bought a set at Carlisle and even though the seller 'said they were right'.
The color was way off compared to an original I had at the time. (they were to dark )

I repainted them.

ps- trim rings are polished

I knew that the ones I have were powdercoated but it looks like a primer color , not near the OEM color. They are EZ to paint, just scuff them first. I have the ones from Vintage wheel werks.....does anyone else even make them ??

All the reproduction rallye wheels I've ever seen are wearing the wrong shade of paint. They look more gray than silver. If you buy a set plan on repainting them.

None of them are correct for the 70-71 cars. They are all based on the Canadian Rallye wheels, not the USA made wheels.

True that, but very few will notice or even know the difference.

Specialty Wheels makes ralley wheels. Really if you don't like the color , than pre oder them raw , bead blast them and paint.

This is a Wheel Vintiques 15"x10" Rallye wheel special ordered (from Summit racing) with 6" of back space. how I fit 15x10's on my Cuda

The color is wrong but I haven't done my wheels yet and plan to correct this in the next month or two but will have to spring for some tires too

Stockton wheel also makes them

I am told this is a good paint code for rallye wheels Rallye wheel paint

UCUDANT, Based on that last picture on your "how to" page, it looks like you need wider tires.
