What are these wheels? They look like rally 1's but my rally 1's don't look as deep. Any idea where to get this wheel? Would it have a Pontiac part #? It is exactly what I am after. Any expert help greatly appreciated.

They are chevy ralley wheels, like the ones they used on corvettes in the late 60's - mid 70's. You can get these wheels through any resto parts distributor for chevelle, camaro, nova, & corvette. hope this helps.

Yup, I think Corvette Ralleys...

Might be wrong, but if you scanned that picture from a magazine I thought it says what they are in the write-up...

I'd take me a ton of time to find it, but that car either appeared in High Performance Pontiac or the old Car Review or Classic Sixties (what-ever the name eventually came to be)... Scares me I remember that, but I know I've seen that car and I could sware it talks about the rims as well...

I agree that they look alot like a corvette 8" rally, but those centre caps look a bit different to me. Unfortunately, I did'nt scan the pic from a magazine, so no caption was avail. Do corvette rally's have a 4.75" bolt circle too?

yes the vette wheels have the 4.75 pattern.

there are a ton of centers made to fit those wheels and that bolt pattern. without a better side view it's hard to tell which cap is on it.

True enough Mike, the side view is crappy. The formula could be as simple as...15X8 chev rally's with PMD rally 1 centers. What ever it is, the combination is tastefull and really sets off a '65 i.m.h.o.

Im pretty sure they ar 15x8 chevy/ vette rallys with the disc brake center and a spinner bolted on with a Pontiac arrow head stick on emblem. Like others here, Ive either seen this car in person or print,cant remember but the wheels do stand out and spur my memory a bit.
