Default I need rims

OK here the situtation. I bought a 71 350/270hp coupe and it does not have the rally rims. I have all the derby caps and trim rings, I just need the rims. Where can I find these for a good price. I don't care if the numbers match or not, as long as they are 15x 8. What is the offset? I think I am sold on the rubber, BFG's TA's 255 60's. What are your thoughts???

I need a complete set (Wheels, Trim Rings, & Center Caps) for my 69 also.
I sure would like to know what everyones thoughts are on this also.
Who is running 16 or 17 inch Rally Wheels?
What tires are you using?
How do you like the ride?
Any information would be great...

I have a complete set of 15 x 8 Rallys that I'm either taking to a swap meet or listing on Ebay. :rolleyes: E:mail me if you are interested, they are an original set with the 4 clip style rings and center caps in B+ quality condition. I've been told they are worth a good amount since they are an original set. . . :confused:

I too have a complete set of wheels rings and centers in excellent condition, with Michelin Redline tires with about half the tread! I can e-mail pics if anyone is interested. I believe they are originals (4-clip design), and we can talk $$$$$
