Im going back to rally rims now and want to order new trim rings and caps for them,but im thinking about the flat style caps this time,either the older 67 and under style or the ones with the bowtie in the center,any body have them and have pictures,i just think it gives the wheel a deeper look to it.Wheel vintiques sells several styles.Ill check back after work.Thanks

I personally like the derby caps but that is my opinion. The flat ones are nice also. Did you get the rims from Mike?

Those flat caps were on police cars equipped with rally wheels or 427 Biscayne cars produced during the 60's. I believe they are called intercepter caps. I have a set that I have had since my youth, I liked them then and still do. They are a nice change from the normal derby cap.

Who makes the 10" rally wheels ? I've seen you guys talking about them -
but never saw a manufacturer.

Thanks :seeya

Thanks. That was my guess - but forgot the exact name.
I really like the rally wheels - so 10" may be in my distant future.

I notice they offer a five inch backspacing, will that fit our cars with no minimal mods? The 15x10 looks like it'd be a nice change!

Depends on the width and profile of the tires you use and if you have a rear stablizer (anti-sway) bar. Also depends on whether you have your emergency cable in the factory location.

In my case, I'm using offset trailing arms with altered e-brake cable location. However, with the P295-50x15 tires and rear anti-sway bar, it is close. A smaller tire would provide more clearance.

All my stuff in the rear end is stock, and I do have a rear sway bar. Would a 285 or 275 fit easier?

The main factor with the tires is the Cross Section Width.....the widest point where the tires bulge.

See here for calculations..... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/tireMath.html

Note that not all manufacturers' meansurements will be exactly the same, just like not all XL shirts are the same.
