Default 74 Rim Question

Was there an option for the aluminum rims on the '74 or did they all come with Rally rims? Just found a '74 I am looking at and it has the aluminum style on it.

It was not an option in 1974.

GM/Chevrolet gave them a try in 1973 but records show perhaps four sets made their way out the door. The Mexican supplier could not solve casting flaws and porosity air leaks. So RPO YJ8 was cancelled. It did re-appear in 1976 and some 6,253 sets were sold.

Having said that I rather like them on my 1974. Not "correct" but they do look very nice. No shame displaying or driving my car.

I agree with Paul

74's look good in Slots.

I just purchased a 74 that has the slots on it. I may end up selling them if anyone is interested.

Sad that I missed your post. I'm looking for a set for my '74 roadster. Anybody in Jersey have 'em for sale? Can supply a set of Rallys plus cash if required.

Sorry for the interruption.
