My Challenger has this style of rallye wheels. Does anyone have any info on them?

Looks like a Pontiac Rallye wheel to me.

Yep, thats a Pontiac Rallye. Time to go shoping for rims.

I thought Pontiac has a 4-3/4 inch bolt circle and Chrysler has 4-1/2 inch. So a Pontiac wheel can not fit to a Challenger. Right ? But what kind of wheel is it ?

You are right Jens. GM tend to use a 4.75 inch bolt circle. Mmmm. Funny thing.

Well here is a photo of a Pontiac Rallye wheel from the Summit Racing website to compare it with.

Are the wheels he's got those Mopar 'cop' wheels that originally came with a dog dish hub cap?

I can't remember exactly what they look like.

They had them on some trucks as well??

I think the slots in the pontiac wheel are slightly bigger and closer to the outside edge of the rim.

Can anyone find an image of the Chrysler truck, taxi, and cop car wheels that I am thinking of and could be had in 15x7 and 15x8 sizes?

They could be off a late 70s newport,my dad had one and it looks like the same wheel?

by **Dave-R (Roppa440)** » 11 Mar 2003 15:54

The wheels I am thinking of were around in the mid-late 70s.

The guy that I borrowed the picture from because my scanner is broke e-mailed me some info on these wheels. "Those wheels are 15"x8" and found only on the Super Coupes and Kit Cars in '78. They differ ever so slightly from cop car wheels in that the cop car wheels have the "nibs" to hold the dog dish hubcaps on. There was also a 15"x7" wheel on the Magnums. Same style and paint, just an inch narrower."
