Rallye Rims & Center Caps

Postby cv70chall » 09 Jun 2008 16:31

I recently purchased a set of Rallye rims for my 1970 Chally and they came off a 1973 model.
It is my understanding that the only real difference between the 1970 Rims and later year models was the center cap- which went from the "cone" style to the wider center cap style.
Is this correct?
Frankly, I like the way both center caps look- and would not have an issue leaving the '73 caps on my '70.
I currently have Magnum rims on my 1970.

your thoughts? :biggrin:

Yes the center caps are the only difference. As long as you don't mind people telling you "Those are the wrong year caps" every time you go to a show then go ahead and keep them that way. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Dave.
I actually like the newer caps better, anyway.
Tire question for you-
On the 14x6 rims, what's the BEST and LARGEST (tallest/ widest) BF Goodrich I could safely go with?

Thanks, as always, oh wise one.

Figured it out.
14x6 rims-BFG P215 or P225 70 R14's all around.

Thanks though!
