Default Raylle Wheels

I saw in the Summit catalog chrome raylle wheels for the 82 Vette. I'm thinking about getting them. Question is what size trim rings do I need for a 8" wheel?
Thanks :seeya

If the wheels are chrome, why would you want trim rings? :confused:

Good point! I guess I should order them and see how they look first. I wasn't sure if the entire rim was chrome or just the center area.
Thanks :seeya

I've looked at those, too . . .absolutely . . . no need for the trim rings.

Before you buy those chrome rallyes, ask the person you order them from what the backspacing is on them. OEM is 4", and take it from me, just because the salesperson tells you, "Yeah, they're just the same as a stock rallye wheel," doesn't make it so. If they're not 4" backspacing they'll potentially chew up your brake bleeders on the rear calipers and they don't fill out the wheel wells quite right. Actually, the only rallye wheel available that is built to OEM spec totally are the ones you get from your friendly Chevrolet parts counter. The best price I've gotten for them is $145 per, and that was only if I bought four. Just be sure to ask about the backpspacing.
