Rally Wheels

The one hitch with the Right Stuff disc conversion is that it only fits under 15" wheels... time to look for those Rallys that I always wanted.

After a quick hunt around on eBay...




4 x Chev 15" x 8" Rally wheels with 2 x 225/70R15 and 2 x 215/70R15 tyres.

Time for a test fit. First NASCAR style (sans centre caps and wheel trims)...




Finally, with the lot...

...I want to paint it black...

In readiness for new tyres, I thought I would hit the rims with a coat of black so at least they were vaguely presentable (even if the retro hubcaps will hide the rims).

The work procedure was power wire brush, sand with wet and dry, blow with compressed air, wash with suds, rinse, another hit of compressed air, air dry, mask and paint.

Two fifths of the way through...



The "paint booth"...




They came up a bit of awright for the quick job that it was...
