Pulled the trigger on new Ralleys, Now mounted!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-C...47835025QQrdZ1
Called them and got a direct backspace and bolt pattern for the Corvette set of 15x8" Ralleys powdercoated silver, with stainless trim rings and police center caps for $410.00 shipped. I've got a nice complete set of factory center caps so I went with the plain police ones just in case I ever want to change up the look any.
Pic of police caps, mine won't have the bowtie but that'll just clean up the look some I think.
It'll be nice not to have the car shake at hwy speeds, plus the ralleys on my car now are only 15x7 and the silver paint is starting to show rust on one of the wheels. Hopefully these new rims are true and won't take much weight, the tires I have are in very good shape.

A Nodak Vette owner. You guys are as rare as hens teeth around here. 
That's the same guy I got my new chrome rallys from. They are made by Wheels Vintique. I have been happy with them and I'm sure you will be too.

Received the wheels quite a while ago but just finally got them mounted today, I really like them. I didn't realize just how messed up those 15x7s were on there, the offset was way off. But, since pics speak louder than words,

Your Rally wheels look good. I purchased my new Rallys a few years ago through Jegs for my 67'. They carry Wheel Vintique Rally wheels and don't charge for shipping. I paid around $45 apiece then without trim rings. I paid another $60 for new trim rings on Ebay from one of the Corvette Dealers selling there and also purchased a set of 4 new repro metal flat center caps for around $100 there for a grand total of around $365/shipping included.
I saw the same advertisement on Ebay to the company you bought from back then but didn't care for the Plastic center caps that they were including. At that time they were advertising the high derby type of center cap in Plastic. By the way for being plastic how do they look, just curious? I was a little reluctant to purchase them because of past experience with the American Racing Plastic center caps on my Street Rod. The chrome tends to wear off of them in little time.
