Default Larger Rally Wheels?

I don’t know if they make such a wheel, if they do I would get a set!

I would love to see the quintessential Corvette Ralleys with the center hub and outer beauty ring on the five slot steel rims in 17.” It would be so nice to be able to get big brakes and better tires. Any chance they are out there? Perhaps some crazy California shop makes them for SEMA?

Yes....Year One, they exist. They do look the same in design, but to me, obviously larger. Its probably worth it to get the better tires available, but they do lose some of the look of the originals. Everything is a compromise.

All I see are the rims, no beauty rings and the center caps are only on the 16” rims and even then they are not even close to the GM style. Am I missing something?

No you're not. I had chrome 16" wheels a while back and without the beauty rings it never really looked right. Just OK. My original center caps fit just fine. Also, anything past 16" has the wrong rubber to chrome proportions.

I dont understand how you cant find them. Heres a list just from my first search. The biggest thing I have seen that I dont like from the bigger wheels is that some of them are out of proportion to the original style, so the slots dont look correct.

These look nice

center caps are sold seperate at jegs

17" YearOne Rally wheels. One piece aluminum, No trim rings required as they are part of the wheel. Center caps come with the wheels. Been using them since 2015. Price is reasonable.
