Default Put my Rallys back on my '80
After 5 years with the aluminum wheels, today I went back to the original rallys.
I had to share
255-60-15 Cooper Cobras

I happen to really like the look of Rallye's with the center cap and trim rings. I might bow to family pressure and put bigger wheels on the 72 but I would go for the Wheel Vintique billet Rallye's to keep the sort-of-stock look.

The 17" billet rallyes are real nice! At least 1 forum member has posted pics of 'em on here. Family pressure to get shiney new shoes for the car, sounds like life is good at the LS1Vette residence!

I like the look of the rallys on your car. What were the other rims that you had on it?

When I bought my 75, the first thing I did was take off the old rims, and put rallys back on. I am also running Cooper Cobra tires on mine.

The family pressure is from my 2 sons. The only problem is they don't have any money to back up their ideas. They're the ones who talked me into this whole LS1 money-pit and then they disappear when it comes time to doing the work.

I guess it will be easy to make the keys "disappear" when they want to drive it!

I like Cooper tires...have them on five out of seven cars my family owns. Another bonus to the Cobras...they tweak the crap outta the Ford guys!

I actually prefer the aluminum wheels over the rally's on 80-82's. Rally's on anything earlier. (exception being the 78 Pace Car) Looks good though
