Looks Cool and Classic.
If you like, the ralleys can also support the C2 flat caps

The GM "Rally Wheels" are one of the best looking OEM designs to come from any manufacturer IMHO. I wouldn't put anything else on a C3, except for maybe a set of Centerline "Auto Drag" wheels.

Great choice! Ralleys are the best looking steel wheels, and one of the best looking wheels ever. I have 5 original 15x7 stockers (1968), and 4 16x8 aftermarket chromes.

I'm definiely a "custom" sort of guy, but those Rally's really look better than the custom rims you had on there in my opinion...


Looking good.......

I agree with everyone else on this one.....the old Ralley wheels are the shiznit! Very tasteful, and I think they look very nice on your car. I would be happy with those on my 76. Well done!
