American Racing Custom Wheels – Part 3 – Chrome Rally Wheels


Rally racing in the 1960s and 1970s was very popular and still is today. This type of racing is one of the most challenging and demanding form of motor sports in the world. It involves sports cars going real fast, battling the elements and other race cars. Combine the physical action of road racing with the glamour and excitement of international sports car racing and you have Rally racing. Because Rally race cars are also street legal they had a special appeal to race fans. Race Fans wanted their cars to look and perform just like Rally cars. So some auto manufacturers offered accessories such as Rally wheels to the consumer. The original Rally steel wheels usually had five distinct oval slots and came with different center caps and trim rings. They were made of heavier gauge steel, which makes them weigh more but also adds structural integrity.


American Racing makes a chrome wheel that sure looks like the old style Rally wheels used on the Camaro and Chevelle. These triple chrome plated steel alloy wheels come with a baby moon hub cap and will compliment white wall tires. This top of the line chrome wheels are offered in 14, 15 and 16 inch rims. Widths vary from 6 to 10 inches. You can also choose many different offsets, back spacing and bolt circle patterns for that just right fitment.


General Motors has over the years given us some really great looking Camaro's and Chevelle's, and now we can add equally great classic custom Rally wheels from American Racing for that old school look.
