Rally IIIs
Anybody ever read or heard why Pontiac skipped over the name Rally III and went right to Rally IV?

My pet name for them is "Y stars" for the Y shaped spokes. I think the Rally III must have been a prototype wheel that never made it to production. |

What was the the steel Rally wheel that was used on early 3rd-gen base Firebirds called? For some reason I thought those were the Rally IV. I'll have to go look for my '82 Firebird brochure ...

RallyIII's are Honeycombs.........
Quote:
Page 27 lists New Options & Accessories: Rally III Wheels, code 478 (478 is the sales code for Honeycomb Wheels UPC PO5) Available ALL models,EXCEPT Trans am,Catalina,Catalina Brougham,Bonneville & Grandville. Unique Honeycomb design! How's that for Trans am TRIVIA? SOMEBODY changed their mind on the Trans am application & wheel name. That is the ONLY reference to RALLY III's as Honeycombs I've seen. Short lived concept! Last edited by 2manyT/A'S; 01-18-2007 at 11:51 AM. |

If memory serves me correctly, the Rally III wheels on the Astre's was a polly cast wheel like the Honeycombs. Basicly the standard Vega 13 hole rally (the type with the small dog dish hub caps & trim rings) with polly cast spokes & a pontiac arrow head center cap. The same wheel was offered on the Monza's to at least 78. The only unique wheels offered on the Astre/Sunbird was the 13" 4 lug Snowflake wheels 77-80. All other wheels were variations of the standard Chevy wheels with differnt center caps or hub caps.
Be carful on what you refer to as a Rally II's as the 4 spoke steel rally's on the Astre are refered to as Rally II's in my PHS documentation. Weird. More of the usless info I have aquired after buying the 78 Sunbird Safari & 77 Astre Formula!!!!!
